Silver Needle

The Silver Needle, an independently owned needlework shop specializing in counted cross stitch, has been in business since 1983. We're a Vera Bradley Gold Retailer, and in 2011 we added the line of ladies apparel -- FLAX. We're conveniently located only 2-1/2 miles off I-44 -- the old Historic Route 66. If you have a chance to stop -- we are 5 minutes from the Interstate. Our parking lot is huge... but you can drive right up to our front doors and park 8 feet from those doors. We have room for buses and RVs too!!! We even have a customer rest room that is stuffed with old shop models that we are selling!!! That always draws lots of fun comments. Our evenweave fabric selection is huge -- we have an entire fabric wall of 42 shelves full of fabrics ranging from 7 to 40 count. We custom cut fabric sizes, too! Enjoy Permin, Zweigart, Northern Cross, R & R, Picture This Plus, and Week's Dye Works linens and hand-dyeds. Our Scissor Collection is fantastic! We carry literally HUNDREDS of different scissors! DOZENS of styles from DOVO of Solingen, Germany - - they are our favorites! We carry Ginghers -- both the limited editions and regular stork embroidery scissors. We have Kelmscott Storklettes, and all her novelty scissors, some Sullivan's, Uncommon Scissors, Bohin from France and Premax from Italy. We have a comfy couch in our Vera Bradley area -- it has hosted many-a-napper over the years! There are cabinets and cabinets of beautiful totes, handbags, scarfs, e-covers for every electronic device you love, cross-stitch organizers, cosmetic bags, and great travel pieces. That little couch comes in handy for the ones you wear out while you're shopping for Vera Bradley! There are 15-ish of us who work in the shop. You'll recognize names when you call on the phone, converse via e-mail, or come in the shop -- most of the gals have been here way over 5 years -- and a few of them over 15! We LOVE our shop and our customers -- whether walk-in or 'remote' -- and love showing you all the fun things we have!!!.
