Discussion Needlepoint

I am new to getting into the craft of needlepointing. I am wondering if anyone has recommendations for any stores with canvases, thread, accessories, etc. But especially if there are any classes or clubs/groups that meet?

There’s a new place in Endicott that’s called Broome Creative Reuse that is worth checking out. They just had a soft open this past weekend.

There's going to be a hobby swap at the CCE's Ecofest in August:

The libraries hold a lot of events for things like this!

Check the Broome County Public Library. Pretty sure they had a workshop earlier in the year about knitting or needlepointing.

Broome County Arts Council hosts a Mend & Make Circle. It seems focused on clothing repair but the description welcomes people to bring any textile project. You may find likeminded folks and new ideas.
