Cross Stitch, Blackwork, Bead Embroidery and Hardanger Kits

The Silent Stitchery is a small, Derbyshire-based studio focusing upon keeping the art of stitch in focus by both producing and selling modern and traditional cross-stitch, blackwork, beaded embroidery & Hardanger kits.

Alongside our reproduction samplers kits, we offer unique embroidery kits that modernize the approach to embroidery.

We are well-known for our 3d beaded embroideries offering a stitching experience that is both unique and fun. 3d bead embroidery offers the opportunity to learn the basic skills in order to progress within the genre. Its your own creativity that leads the way!

Developed in the Heart of the National Forest

A Family-Focused Business

Our blackwork uses methods and stitches that are hundreds of years old, but uses threads in vibrant and stunning colours to create show-stopping patterns for you to complete and display.

Our Hardanger, perhaps the most daunting, and to some the most challenging, creates the most beautiful pieces of work and teaches new methods for you to learn.
