Thistle Needleworks is a full-service
needlework shop located in Wethersfield, Connecticut that specializes
in counted thread embroidery, canvas (needlepoint) embroidery, and crewel
embroidery. We offer a wide variety of needlework products and accessories
to meet your every need.
Thistle Needleworks moved from Glastonbury, CT
to Wethersfield, CT in September 2015.
After being closed for walk-in customers for about
two months,
Thistle Needleworks is now ready to receive
visitors.
Beginning Wednesday, May 20th, we are open for customers to visit the shop
one at a time and by appointment only. Appointments are scheduled
for
15-minute increments with a maximum of 3 consecutive time slots. We
ask that you contact the shop via email or phone to schedule your first
visit.
(Email would be better since we may be too busy to answer the phone
-- wouldn't that be nice?)
Our new opening hours are 9:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday to Friday,
Thursday evening by appointment, and
9:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. on Saturday.
All customers must wear a face mask covering their nose and mouth completely,
as will all of the staff. Since we will practice social distancing,
we cannot stand next to you in order to help with color selections, etc.,
so please be prepared for self-service. Also, try not to touch a product
you do not intend to purchase. These practices are all for your own
safely as well as that of other customers and our staff.
We expect this "phase one" reopening to continue through all of June.
Shipping of your supplies and/or vestibule pick-up will continue and is,
indeed, encouraged. These orders are best placed online at
store.APNeedleArts.com, where we have added a shipping option
of "Vestibule Pickup", or by email. When you place an order for pick-up,
we will call you when it is ready and arrange to put it out for you at the
appropriate time.
You may order online at
APNeedleArts.com,
via email to
ThisNeedle@aol.com,
or by phone to 800-NDLWRKS or 860-257-2718
While we work on filling these orders we may not be able
to answer the phone, so please leave a message on the
answering machine and we will call you back ASAP |
