How to use your thread drops.

  1. 1

    Slide the tag into the pocket.

    The label goes into the clear pocket on the back, as it came off the skein.

  2. 2

    Prepare the thread.

    Cut the skein into working lengths the way you usually do for that thread.

  3. 3

    Loop the lengths through the slot.

    Fold the bundle in half, push the fold through the slot and pass the ends through it. The bundle hangs straight.

  4. 4

    Pull a length when you need one.

    One strand slides free. The rest stays put. The loaded drops hang together on their ring.

Each drop is finished by hand in California. Free shipping on orders of $100 or more.

Save yourself the dramatic sold-out moment.

Laura, founder of The Stitch Ladi

Hi, I’m Laura.

Needlepoint is too expensive for the accessories to be this mediocre. I started The Stitch Ladi because the practical side deserved better.

My Story

The things you reach for every day should still look good.

Every product starts with a real stitching problem and ends with something you'd leave out on the table. Function first, design always.

Loved on Etsy.

Same shop. Now with a site of its own.

“The most beautiful scissors I’ve ever owned. They cut like a dream and look stunning next to my project.”

Sarah M.Scissors Set

“This storage box is gorgeous. Finally something pretty enough to leave out on my craft table.”

Michelle K.Acrylic Storage Box

“I’m obsessed with this needleminder. It’s the perfect weight and the design is absolutely darling.”

Jennifer P.Bee Needleminder

“Everything about this shop is elevated. The packaging, the quality, the aesthetic. I keep coming back.”
