World-class sewing supplies for your projects.

Our extensive range of world-class threads, needles and sewing accessories are perfect for everyone. From the home sewer to large scale manufacturing, we bring incomparable quality to all.

Our Story

Our story began in 1988 when John Tudehope discovered a need for high quality threads and needles here in Aotearoa. In 2012, son-in-law Gethin Sladen took over the business, with a determination to build on the already high standards.

Since our humble beginnings, we have grown into a preferred supplier of world-class products, bringing the best brands from around the globe to NZ’s shores.
