Abuelita's Knitting & Needlepoint

Products

Needlepoint

A whole side of the shop is given to needlepoint — hand-painted canvases, the threads to work them, and someone to ask when a canvas has you stuck.

Canvases

Hand-painted canvases in a range of mesh counts — ornaments and small pieces you can finish in a season, and larger canvases worth taking your time over.

Threads & fibers

Silks, wools, cottons and specialty fibers. We'll help pull a palette for a canvas and work out how much of each you'll need.

Stitch guidance

Choosing stitches is half the pleasure and most of the difficulty. Bring the canvas in and we'll go through it with you.

Finishing

A stitched canvas isn't done until it's made up into something — a pillow, an ornament, a stocking. We arrange finishing.

Thursdays, 12–2pm

Stitching Studio

A standing needlepoint session every Thursday afternoon. Bring whatever you're working on, get help where you're stuck, and sit with people doing the same.
