One of my favorite US cities is San Francisco, CA. On many a business trip and vacation, I had the pleasure to enjoy a foray into Needlepoint Inc, a full-service needlepoint shop. In addition to browsing among the original hand-painted canvases on display, I got a chance to watch one being painted.
Needlepoint Inc is located in the heart of downtown San Francisco at Union Square. It carries thousands of needlepoint designs for purses, ornaments, shoes, pillows, game sets…you name it! On my last shopping spree I purchased a game set, pillow designs for the states I’ve lived in, a historic canvas painted of one of Henry VIII’s wives, and so much more.
Needlepoint Inc manufacturers its own Needlepoint Silk. This 8-ply 100% Chinese silk has a soft sheen and comes in over 100 colors—great additions to your Bargello needlepoint stash.
Visit Needlepoint Inc online to get a good look at the magnitude of the product offerings. Make sure you have enough time…say an hour or two for browsing. If you’re fortunate enough to live in the San Francisco area, you can stop by the shop at 275 Post Street or call 800.616.1622.
