Periodic Table Needle Minder
This Periodic Table themed needle minder will keep your needle safe in style! It's designed to go with the In Your Element: The Periodic Table Stitchalong, but also works as a lovely collectible piece for anyone who loves stitching and science!
Packs containing both fabric and needle minder (at a slightly discounted price) are also available here. Postage will be combined for any orders of stitchalong packs and/or needle minders ordered together.
Stitchalong packs and seagull needle minders for the Life's A Beach Stitchalong are also available to pre-order.
These needle minders are available on a pre-order basis for a very limited time only - until 25 October 2026. Needle minders will then be dispatched after I have ordered the stock needed, so please note that there will be a delay between ordering and dispatch.
The needle minder is specially designed (by me!), spelling 'cross stitch' out of element symbols. In the stitchalong pattern, each element has a different background colour according to its chemical series. Non-metals are in green, and transition metals are in blue. So the non-metal and transition metal elements in the needle minder have these colours. Element 43 - Tc or technetium - is radioactive in all its forms, which is why it has a yellow outline to make it stand out a little from the other elements with a white outline!
Needle minders keep your needle safe as you stitch (they are attracted by the magnets underneath!) - so no more lost needles!
The needle minders are as environmentally friendly as possible:
- Made in the UK with ethical working conditions
- Made of printed metal which takes 1/20th the energy to produce compared to enamel
- Manufactured using recycled hypoallergenic materials
- Printed with VOC-free inks
Making sure the needle minders are environmentally friendly and ethical as possible was very important to me, so we can all stitch whilst keeping the planet happy :-)
Note that the needle minders contain magnets which are very dangerous if swallowed, so please keep them away from young children.
Please note that if you choose untracked postage (for smaller orders), you will not be able to trace where your order is and will need to wait at least 5 weeks after the postage date for any non-delivery to be dealt with.
I currently have delivery options set up for the UK, non-EU European countries, Canada, United States, Australia and New Zealand. For the United States, tariffs will be included in your order price (Delivered Duty Paid).
Unfortunately I cannot sell any physical products to countries within the European Union, because EU laws make it almost impossible for small businesses to legally sell into the EU. Stitchers in the EU can still purchase the digital stitchalong product (which will have EU taxes incorporated in the price as required by EU law) - we'd love to still have you as part of it :-)
If you are in a country not listed above and would like to order a needle minder or stitchalong pack, please message me and hopefully I can work something out :-)
