Whether you enjoy counted cross stitch, stamped or embellished cross stitch, long stitch, blackwork, tapestry/needlepoint or embroidery, you'll know that this ancient craft gives you enormous satisfaction.

As well as being a relaxing occupation, stitching is a way of meeting likeminded people through local needlework groups and embroiderers' guilds.

And once you finish a project you have a work of art of real value to show for it!


Needlecraft kits come in a bewildering array of shapes, sizes and qualities:

  • Counted cross stitch kits are the most popular - you use a chart or graph to count where each stitch is made in the evenweave or blockweave fabric.
  • Stamped or embellished cross stitch kits come with outline or colour printed fabric showing where to make your stitches.
  • Tapestry kits have colour printed canvas to act as a guide for the stitches.
There are many suppliers and collections for everyone from beginner to advanced.
  • Rico Design of Germany have perhaps the most comprehensive range, offering everything from budget cross stitch card kits to top quality tapestry kits.
  • Heritage Crafts (UK) specialise in medium priced counted cross stitch kits with pastoral, nostalgic and elegant subjects.
  • Derwentwater Designs (UK) feature medium priced counted cross stitch kits, long stitch kits and blackwork kits with special emphasis on English scenes by Rose Swalwell.
  • Lanarte of Holland put the emphasisis on style with kits by many well-known cross stitch designers. These kits are generally in the medium to upper price brackets and some will stretch an advanced stitcher.
  • Maia (by Coats UK) focus on contemporary decorative art and their kits offer high quality at the medium to upper price range.
  • Permin (Denmark) needs no introduction - the grand-daddy of them all still offers traditional European design across a range of products.
