National Needlework Archive

Driving home from Newbury the other day I noticed a new and important educational resource close to the town – the National Needlework Archive

Thanks Michael for telling about this. We see it’s just south of Newbury on the A330 Newbury-to-Basingstoke road, in Greenham Business Park.

Here’s their website: www.nationalneedleworkarchive.org.uk/index.html

The website says the archive was founded in 1998, and moved to its present location in 2010, has a great work space, educational space, as well as a growing collection of historical needlecraft items and database.
