A Crafty Needle

A Crafty Needle We are a mother and daughter team who had the dream of building a traditional knitting and haberdash So that's us. Irene, Suzy & Max the Yorkie

We established A Crafty Needle in 2008 after my Mum (Irene) decided she would make her dream of owning a knitting shop come true and when I (Suzy) got bored of working in an office. So with the aim of building a traditional haberdashers, just like the ones we used to spend our Saturday mornings in, A Crafty Needle was born. Armed with a basic knowledge of knitting and cross stitching between us (a

nd even less knowledge of running a shop) we've grown into that traditional haberdashers where you can get your next knitting or stitching project or just a button. Our shop may be small, but, as we are sure our customers will agree, it is packed to the rafters with goodies ready to tempt you. We'll keep you updated with the latest news and products from A Crafty Needle on our page and hope to see you soon.
