About us
With heart for the craft.
We love thread, needles and all the little things that create great things. We teach the basics of hand embroidery with passion and a pinch of humor – thoroughly, comprehensibly and with a lot of fun.
For us, the craft isn’t some dusty tradition—it’s a living culture we want to share with you: colorful, creative, and sometimes a little bit crazy.
