I'm so glad you're here
If you’re just getting started with needlepoint, let me be the first to say welcome! This craft has brought so much to my life—not only a creative, meditative practice, but an amazing community, too. I’m thrilled Penny Linn can be part of your journey.
First thing’s first: don’t panic! Things might seem a little overwhelming at first, but you’ll be obsessed (and totally confident) in no time. On this page, you’ll find everything you need to get started, from basic tools and tutorials to our favorite beginner canvases and more.
Happy stitching!
Shopping Tip
All of our canvases have a “kit” option. This means we’ll include all the threads you need to complete the project (as well as a needle, a seam ripper, and a needle threader)—no need to buy them separately! We recommend all first-timers kit their first canvas.
What You'll Need
As you get deeper into needlepoint, there are tons of accessories and extras that can be added to your stash. All you truly need to get started is a needle, thread, and a canvas.
