Needlework is a broad term for the handicrafts of decorative sewing and textile arts. Anything that uses a needle for construction can be called needlework. The definition may expand to include related textile crafts such as a crochet hook or tatting shuttles.

Similar abilities often transfer well between different varieties of needlework, such as fine motor skill and a knowledge of textile fibers. Some of the same tools may be used in several different varieties of needlework. For instance, a needle threader is useful in nearly all needlecrafts.

Yarn, needlework, and quilting shops in the Melbourne area?
Q. I am an American who likes to cross stitch, knit and quilt and will be moving to Melbourne, VIC in early March. Could anyone provide me with suggestions of stores in the area to purchase fabrics, yarns, etc?

A. That is a web address of a knitters guild in Melbourne and the contact person is: janet@techinfo.com.au I am sure that if you contact this person, they can not only tell you if there is a yarn, needlework, and quilting shop in Melbourne, but also where the least expensive shops are. Good luck.
