About this piece

Put your stitching down for a minute and the needle disappears into the cushion, into the carpet, into the dog. A needle minder solves it: two magnets sandwich your fabric, the enamel side sits on top, and the needle sticks to it whenever it is not in your hand.

This one is a Scottish terrier in a red tartan coat, enamelled with gold outlines, about 4 cm nose to tail. The magnets are strong enough that it doubles as a pin or a fridge magnet when it isn't on duty, and it is small enough to be the sort of thing you drop into someone's Christmas stocking.

What you get

  • One enamel Scottish terrier needle minder with gold detailing, approx. 4 cm across
  • Two bar magnets

Good to know

  • Separate the magnets, put your fabric between them, and stick the needle to the enamel
  • Works on embroidery, cross stitch and sewing and as a pin badge or fridge magnet
  • Made in Britain for Paraffle of Edinburgh
  • Not a toy. Contains small parts and strong magnets.  please keep away from children.

About the artist

Paraffle

Paraffle, Edinburgh, Scotland

10%+ profits to charityVisit her local stall at Tron Kirk, Edinburgh

Paraffle was founded in Edinburgh in 2016 by Sammy Bishop while she was studying for a PhD. Looking for a creative outlet and a way to make meaningful gifts on a student budget, she taught herself to embroider, reconnecting with her childhood love of sewing. She eventually named her studio Paraffle, an old Scots word that literally means "embroidery".

We first discovered Paraffle through her paisley hare pattern, captivated by how simple yet intricate it was. That single design opened the door to her broader collection of signature pieces, like the paisley whale, puffin, and Highland coo. Today, we're delighted to bring a small corner of Paraffle onto Tiny Patio's quiet shelf, inviting you to explore iconic Scottish wildlife and historic street scenes through detailed Paisley patterns and architectural line art.
