I learned to embroider when I was a kid, when everyone was really into cross stitch (remember the '80s?). Eventually, I migrated to surface embroidery, teaching myself with whatever I could get my hands on...read more

These oh-so-adorable spool tins are ideal storage solutions for bits and bobs in your sewing and needlework space!

Here in the studio, we use them for orts (thread scraps); small clips, tacks, and other small tools that come in quantities; and yes, even jelly beans!

Ever since I got my first set of spool tins, they've been showing up in the backgrounds of many of my photos, because there's always at least one handy at my workstation. They are wonderful conversation starters when we have visitors. Everyone wants to take one (or all!) home. They make lovely gifts for stitching friends.

Spool tins are about 3.5" high x 2.5" in diameter.

We are selling the spool tins in a set of six. The colors in the set are: coral, blue, aqua, yellow, pink, and purple.

If you are interested in individual spool tins, please reach out. Currently, it makes more sense to sell as a set, due to the cost of shipping. But if there is enough interest, we can stock these individually, too.

Advanced Notice

If the spool tins are sold out and you are interested in purchasing them, please drop me a line at mary(at)needlenthread(dot)com, and I'll email you when new stock arrives. Thanks!

Shipping

Tins will be wrapped for protection and shipped in sturdy boxes to assure they arrive in pristine shape. Each tin has been thoroughly inspected before shipping.

Tins ship via Priority Mail or Ground Advantage, depending on your location and the cost of shipping. If you purchase multiple items, we will package them in a way that makes the most sense and, as always, refund any notable excess in shipping.
