Welcome to the Miniature Needlework Society

The Miniature Needlework Society was founded in 1997 to encourage all forms of miniature work with needle and thread: embroidery of every kind, knitting, crochet, tatting, lace making etc. The Society now has around 300 members worldwide who keep in touch through newsletters and workshops. Members share their expertise, and the Society publishes information packs on needlework techniques and sourcing materials.
