Hi I am Clare Bates and the founder of the popular Threads4U Facebook group. This is my new online web shop which I founded in the Summer of 2023 to serve my fabulous community of like-minded stitchers. I want to offer the best value online threads and other stitchy things direct to your door and I very much hope you enjoy what I have to offer. I currently specialise in the gorgeous cross stitch and embroidery threads from DMC.

I am based in Endmoor, Cumbria and have been a stitcher for many years. I support my community not only through contributions, ideas and some of my own work for inspiration but also by bringing like minded people together across the UK to help each other. I offer the lowest prices for high quality products and ensure that they are delivered direct to your door as cheaply as possible.

The Threads4U community is growing quickly, already achieving hundreds of members in a short time and I look forward to bringing you a wider range of fantastic stitchy products as things take shape. I really appreciate you visiting my site, taking the time to browse what I offer and encourage you to join our friendly group online.
