Needle In A Haystack

Information may not be reliable

We have moved to a great new location 1.6 miles from our Webster Street address which gives us 3,000 square feet of store space and plenty of non-metered street parking. Clement Avenue is a light industrial area bordered by residential so parking is quite open and free. The building is a converted pencil factory with 24' high ceilings and post and beam construction. Behind us is a small parking lot with 3 spaces for our use and 2 handicapped spots. You can enter the lot either via Minturn or Union.
Our paint color a light seafoam and with high ceilings the space is light and airy. We have both a front and rear entrance. The front entrance is on Clement Avenue and has a few steps to get into the shop. The rear entrance, off the parking lot is flat so is more suitable for wheeled devices - or if you just don't like stairs. If you park in the lot please use the 3 spaces marked NEEDLE on the Union Street side of the lot.
We hope you'll come by to visit the new location and enjoy our new digs! Photos can be found on our About page.

An oasis from the rush of daily life, we try to make our store like a home away from home. We have tables throughout the store where you can work on your project or spread out items to consider. Or relax on the couch while you ponder a color choice.
You are always welcome to stop by the shop anytime, share a pot of tea with us and sit and stitch a while.
