Nice place to learn new things and buy gifts.Kids and adults who are interested in crafts will enjoy the place!
I have ordered cotton yarn. Quality was good and also quick delivery. However, I see there are around 4 to 5 knots for whole ball. Customer service is very prompt and helpful on this matter and assured this will not occur again.I would recommend this yarn, its bit pricey side but worth the quality.
I’ve always enjoyed my experience with Shuttles and Needles. The prompt response from staff to all my queries, the quick deliveries (almost overnight) and superior quality of the products they carry definitely keep me coming back for more. Highly recommend the carders to blend in fibres and their simple hand held drop spindles for those who want to learn the basics of hand spinning fibre into your sitting in your home
Really good place to learn weaving which offers quality materials and knowledge. I registered myself for a pattern weaving course and without a doubt it was worth every single penny i spent. I even went on to purchase a table loom and have been loving it everyone there is extremely friendly and exceptionally knowledgeable so i really reccomend all of you to visit the place once...and i am sure u will fall in love with the place just like i did...
I visited the studio at Adyar. Excellent place for learning, very approachable and friendly faculty and they also have a shop with wide selection of Ashford looms, yarns and other materials. Most of the Merino wool for my graduation project was bought from them.Its wonderful to see the work happening at the studio.
Prompt delivery every single time... Really a great option for yarn and fiber lovers.
A great discovery of this place today. They groom such a lovely hobby/ profession which can bring such peace of mind. Never knew weaving and spinning can be so addictive. We need to revive this art to mainstream. Now Shuttles and Needles is doing a great contribution to this art.
Excellent customer service. Sukanya from Shuttles and needles was very patient in guiding me to choose the correct loom , since I was new to weaving. Really happy with the quality of the loom and addicted to weaving.
For a beginner, the website takes you into a new world of colours silence and possibilities.Helpful and warm suggestions from the personel there.
What an enriching and fascinaitng experience to let my palms move the shuttles on a warped loom!! It is all the more joyful as the ambience and ergonomically appropriate furniture, friendly and helpful staff makes weaving pretty effortless. Just go there on a visit and you will want to spare sometine to play with the laden shuttles!!!
Loved their speedy delivery, despite the pandemic...my package was delivered in proper condition and in time. Love their range of colors and quality of the threads. Appreciated the little note and thread sample brochure they sent along.
I always got fascinated by the beautiful textures of woven fabric created by variety of yarns, colours and wanted to explore and create one .Our belief that weaving belongs to artisan weavers is not true. Shuttles and Needles an awesome textile art studio is a dream come true for all art lovers.It’s one of its kind studio in India with compact looms, spinners, gorgeous yarns and fibre.Trying out beautiful silk, wool and cotton scarfs,on my ashford loom and recently I am a proud owner of an e spinner to create art yarns.Even kids can take up the hobby and create woven cloth through workshops or weaving spa to experience it .Mr Naresh, MD of the studio and his friendly team of professionals , with their guidance and inspiring ideas make it an interesting, beautiful and creative learning experience whether it’s on weaving loom, felting or spinning loom.My dream to make garments has come true by getting trained in weaving and felting workshops and be able to do big projects with their guidance
I spent about 2 weeks at shuttles and Needles learning how to spin my own custom made art yarns using their top of the line equipment to create unique mesmerizing art yarns. It was truly an amazing experience, it helped me to channel my creativity and made me feel calm and relaxed. It was a therapeutic experience. The whole shuttles and Needles family was so welcoming and warm, it was an absolute pleasure working there.Shuttles and Needles is definitely your go to place for all organic based yarns, they have wonderful workshops that really help to give importantce to weaving and spinning. Visit to tap into your creative side.
It was a unique experience attending the summer workshop here. Hand weaving is a form of therapy, which gives us satisfaction and also makes us more creative.
I came across Shuttles and Needles in Instagram. I was amazed to see the range of products they could offer. I instantly placed my order and got my order delivered hasslefree. I was super happy about the quality. I have been getting products for my grandmother in Tirunelveli. She has got a way to beat the lockdown boredom with crocheting now... looking forward to visit the store someday and explore more.
I was planning to make a weaving tapestry and was looking for merino wool to add the beautiful lumpiness and texture to it. However no matter how hard I searched, I just couldnt find merino wool that I could source in India at a reasonable price. I had almost given up and decided to request my friend travelling home from the USA to get some for me. However, I luckily stumbled upon Shuttles and Needles website through an instagram post. I was able to find each and every material that I required for the tapestry, especially the wool yarn at a very reasonable price with loads of colour and texture options. I expected some delay in delivery due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns, but it was delivered well within time and I was able to complete my tapestry. The merino wool had a very rich colour and soft texture which exceeded my expectations. Was very happy that the colour of the yarn looked exactly like the picture on their website. They also hold workshops and classes at their studio in Chennai which I would be very interested in attending.
This lock down, my kids are bored to tears, watching YouTube videos all day. Suddenly, my child asks me for a wool felting set. I have no idea what that even means and educate myself about it (yes, now my algo is confused about what I like haha). Well, Amazon had a set but it was not delivering - cause COVID. I did a general search online and up pops Shuttles & Needles calling it a wool needling set (who knew!). I ordered the set and it was delivered the NEXT day. OMG! The packing, their newsletter, the personal note - We felt so special. My child, having mastered the technique of wool needling by watching hours and hours of YT videos, produced masterpiece after masterpiece. One of which I attach here. I subsequently have ordered some cotton wool from them (it was a huge mistake and Im trying to work with it, but itss so hard - but its MY mistake and i take 100% ownership). IN CONCLUSION .... I have nothing but super good things to say about this store. They are prompt, responsive, and love what they do. Do buy from them and support a local business!
It’s a beautiful and neat studio place with helpful experts and perfect yarns for projects.
