Thistle Needleworks
 

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.
After 32 years in Glastonbury, CT,
Thistle Needleworks moved to Wethersfield, CT in September 2015.

We provide online ordering of our products on our APNeedleArts.com site,
where we present many of the items that we have in our shop.

*** Thistle Needleworks is open for in-person shopping ***
 
Our hours are 9:30 am - 5:30 pm on Tuesday through Friday,
Thursday evening by appointment, and 9:30 am - 4:00 pm on Saturday.
We are closed on Sunday and Monday.
 
Since the state of Connecticut no longer has a mask mandate, face masks
are not required now, but are certainly not discouraged.  Please use
your best judgment.
 
Shipping of your supplies and/or vestibule/in-store pickup will continue and is, indeed, encouraged.  These orders are best placed with us online at store.APNeedleArts.com where we have added a shipping option of "Vestibule/In-Store Pickup", or by email.  When you place an order for pickup, we will call you when it is ready and arrange to put it out for you at the appropriate time.
 
Judie's in-store "Open Classroom" classes have resumed on
Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings.
See the class schedule and our calendar of events.


You may order online at APNeedleArts.com (preferred),
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
