If you’re looking for an online resource for threads, fabrics, accessories, etc., for hand embroidery, you’ll find Hedgehog Handworks a useful and friendly place to shop. I love this embroidery shop! If you haven’t had a chance to check out Hedgehog Handworks, there’s no time like the present. This is where I get Au Ver a Soie silks and Legacy linen, Hardwicke Manor hoops, cotton floche, Fine d’Aubusson crewel wool, among other things here and there, now and then. They’ve got all kinds of tools, and just about anything the stitcher could want!
Update, 2017: The owner of Hedgehog Handworks retired early in 2017, and the shop is now closed.
Twining Thread is one of my favorite shops too. They are very nice people. Shipping is quick and reasonably priced.
Is this shop still there? The website seems to be defunct.
Hi, Beth – no, I’m afraid it’s not. I’ve updated the post now with different information, directing folks to Hedgehog Handworks. Twining Thread closed a couple years later, unfortunately. It was a neat shop!
