The hours are the thing to plan around
The shop opens Tuesday to Saturday from 11am to 5pm, and until 7pm on Wednesdays, which makes Wednesday the day for an after-work visit. It is open on Sundays from noon to 4pm and closed on Mondays.
Before you go
- The shop publishes no phone number. Its site has a contact form instead.
- Finishing starts on October 6, 2026. The shop takes finishing in person only, so bring the stitched canvas with you.
- 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.
