Haberdashery for every project
Haberdashery is the small kit behind every sewing, mending, knitting and quilting project. Ours includes:
- Sewing, embroidery and tapestry needles
- Needle threaders, awls and seam rippers, including tools by local maker Eddie Hall
- Sewing and embroidery threads [CHECK: add thread brands stocked, e.g. DMC]
- Buttons, zips, elastic and tapes [CHECK: confirm]
- Felt from the NZ Felt Factory
- Patterns, books and magazines
Embroidery threads, kits and pin cushions
For stitchers we carry embroidery threads, including hand-dyed floss from The Floss Junkie, along with kits for a range of skill levels. [CHECK: confirm The Floss Junkie is still stocked, and whether you carry hoops and fabric for embroidery]
Our Pin Cushion of the Month kits, such as Queen Bee, Dragonfly Delight and the Beetle Biscornu, are a lovely small project for trying a new technique.
