Needlepoint Shops in Jacksonville
Three shops, JAX Needlepoint on Herschel Street, Cabana Needlepoint Studio in Jacksonville Beach, and The Bristly Thistle up on Amelia Island.
The Jacksonville area has three needlepoint shops we can confirm, and they are spread out. JAX Needlepoint is on Herschel Street, about four and a half miles southwest of downtown, Cabana Needlepoint Studio is in Jacksonville Beach, about sixteen miles east, and The Bristly Thistle is in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, about twenty-six miles northeast.
Each is twenty to thirty miles from the other two, so pick by where you are rather than planning to see all three.

A needlepoint shop on Beech Street in Fernandina Beach, run by Michele, which started out in Petoskey, Michigan, before moving to Amelia Island. Appointments outside the usual hours by email or phone.

Which one to go to
In the city, go to JAX Needlepoint.
At the beaches, go to Cabana Needlepoint Studio, open until 7pm from Tuesday to Friday.
On Amelia Island, go to The Bristly Thistle, and call first, as the shop asks.
Before you go
- None of the three opens on a Sunday or a Monday.
- Bring the canvas if you have one. Thread and mesh have to be matched to the specific canvas, and nobody can do that from a photograph. See our thread guide for what that pairing involves.
FAQ
What about A Stitch in Time?
Its site lists needlepoint alongside cross stitch and knitting, but gives no opening hours, so we have not listed it. If you have been lately, tell us and we will check it.
Can I get a finished piece made up?
Cabana Needlepoint Studio offers finishing. Ask the other two, and ask about timing well before a holiday.
