Hi, I’m Andi, the person behind Needlecraft Books.
This collection grew out of two things: my mother’s cross stitch books and pamphlets, passed down to me, and my own long-running habit of rescuing vintage craft books from op shops and secondhand stores across Australia. Over the years that habit meant doubling up on titles I already owned, so I started sharing my spares and the special finds along the way.
My collection spans embroidery, cross stitch, needlepoint, crochet, knitting, sewing, and general craft titles, including plenty of out-of-print and hard-to-find editions.
New additions get added regularly, so it’s worth checking back if you’re hunting for something in particular. Can’t find what you’re after? Get in touch and let me know what’s on your wishlist — I’m always keeping an eye out for new finds.
