Welcome to Cleopatra's Needle Ltd

 

We are UK based designers and manufacturers of high-quality needlework kits.  We manufacture under three separate and distinct brands:
 
Cleopatra's Needle for tapestry or needlepoint kits
Cinnamon Cat for cross stitch kits and charts
Stitch56 for canvas work kits
 

Tapestry or Needlepoint Kits
 
Manufacturing under the Cleopatra's Needle brand, our kits are available in a wide range of designs, from the traditional to the contemporary. We cater for all ages, from 7 years and upwards with out Starter Kits, and then progressing to our ever popular Herb Pillows, Spectacles Cases and Cushions kits.  We only use Appleton's wool and Zweigart tapestry canvas, ensuring consistency of quality in all our products.  See the full range here
 
Cross Stitch Kits and Charts
 
We teamed up with Jane Lydia Henderson of Cinnamon Cat Designs in 2009 to make and distribute her gorgeous range of cross stitch kits and charts.  Cinnamon Cat products are designed in the UK by Jane Lydia Henderson. She particularly loves bright, vibrant colours with plenty of shading to give depth to her designs. She uses American folk art as inspiration but gives her designs a little English twist. View the full range here.
 
Canvas Work Kits
 
We developed Stitch56 canvas work kits after identifying a gap in the stitching market.  It's a new style of stitching for the young at heart, using stranded cottons, metallics, beads and ribbons to create fun and interesting products with distinct end uses.  Neither cross stitch nor tapestry but somewhere in between it's easy to learn and really quick!  See the full range here.
