We believe in shared value

Supporting the Needlework Industry

We believe in building a healthy needlework community in which everyone feels welcome, from designer to stitcher. The sale of our needlework kits directly supports the teams who care for historic needlework collections, and fairly compensates the talented artisans involved in the creation of exquisite embroidery.

"I highly recommend The Crewel Work Company, Phillipa Turnbull and her incredible tutors and team for all your needlework needs! Dedication to excellence is second to none - thank you!"
— Lily Myers 🇬🇧
Love all your kits. It is always exciting to receive it. Spend the first couple of days looking at the colors and reviewing the instructions.
Anette Erikson
What can I say?! Impeccable service and quality product from a company whose dedication to preserving historic needlework has created a strong, supportive, and unparalleled international community.
Ewan Armstrong
This kit is beautiful. Superbly presented in a lovely box with all the goodies you need for the course and then some special treats. Well done everyone at the Crewelwork Company.
Denise Foster
The kit is wonderful, lovely materials and colors. Unless you are a silk & goldwork veteran I advise you to buy the online course with the kit. It's worth every penny to stitch along with Zina. She explains every step - even when things go a bit wrong. The written instructions are good, but necessarily brief.
Chris
I really enjoyed stitching this kit. I love the colours and the variety of stitches. Beautifully packaged, and excellent instructions as are all the kits I have purchased. Highly recommended.
