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, Edinburgh, Scotland

Founded in Edinburgh, 20174.9★ from 1,300+ Etsy reviews

Paraffle began in Edinburgh in 2017, when Sammy Bishop started drawing animals the way paisley shawls are drawn — in teardrops, curls and tiny florets. The name is the Scots word for embroidery. Everything is still designed by Sammy and packed by hand by a small team near the Royal Mile: organic cotton, DMC threads, plastic-free kraft packaging, and a stitch guide that photographs every stitch and links to a video of it. Her Highland coos, puffins and Edinburgh street scenes are the most Scottish things in the shop, and among the kindest to a first-timer.
