Thread the Needle Stitchery began as an online cross-stitch shop in 2021. By late 2024, we expanded our offerings to include yarn and crochet supplies. In 2025, we proudly opened our brick-and-mortar store, where we were fortunate to connect with Monica Shupe, an incredible knitter and crocheter—perhaps it was she who found us!
Her expertise inspired us to integrate knitting and crocheting more prominently into our shop's offerings. Today, our store features a diverse mix of needlearts, including cross stitch, crochet, knitting, embroidery, and punch needle.
As newcomers to Tennessee, I envisioned our shop as a community hub. We host “open stitching” sessions whenever the shop is open, and on Thursdays, we extend our hours to accommodate working individuals. In just under a year, we've cultivated a loyal group of regulars who bring their projects to stitch and chat, sometimes visiting daily.
We are eagerly anticipating our participation in the Great Tennessee Yarn Tour this year!
