Needlepoint Shops in Virginia Beach and Williamsburg
Two shops about forty-seven miles apart, The Golden Needle Co on Virginia Beach Boulevard and Williamsburg Needlepoint on Jamestown Road.
Virginia Beach and Williamsburg have one needlepoint shop each that we can confirm, about forty-seven miles apart. The Golden Needle Co is on Virginia Beach Boulevard, about five miles east of Town Center, and Williamsburg Needlepoint is on Jamestown Road in Williamsburg.
At that distance they are two separate trips.

A needlepoint shop with canvases, kits, and accessories, for beginners kitting their first canvas and for stitchers working out decorative stitches, in its own words with a seat at the table for everyone.

Which one to go to
On a Monday, go to Williamsburg Needlepoint, the one of the two open that day. It also stays open until 8pm on Wednesdays.
The Golden Needle Co sells its own exclusive canvases, a Chesapeake Bay series among them.
Before you go
- Neither opens on a Sunday.
- 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.
