A Little History: Needlepoint Through the Ages
Needlepoint is a craft which dates back to China during 30,000 BC and spread with traders travelling the old silk road. Examples of Egyptian needlepoint have been found in the tomb of a pharoah who had lived around 1500 BC.
With the development of upholstered seating in 17th century Europe, it became a practical hard wearing covering.
This traditional craft has been handed down over the centuries and evolved with every new generation. Designs and stitches have emerged and left a legacy of beautiful handmade home decoration. The development of new fabrics and materials used to make thread have also inspired new designs.
Needlepoint continues to evolve as stitchers use new techniques and threads, and add appliqué or found materials.
21st Century Needlepoint
Needlepoint might feel like the height of vintage cool, but this timeless craft has been stitched into history for centuries. Originally used to embellish household décor and even tapestries for royalty, it grew in popularity during the Victorian era — when stitching was both a practical skill and a relaxing pastime.
Today, needlepoint has been lovingly revived by modern makers who adore its meditative rhythm and vibrant design potential. In this kit, we’re giving it a sunny twist — with punchy colours, tactile textures, and a chic, flexible finish.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned stitcher, this is a project that’s joyful, achievable, and full of personality.
