FAREWELL TO OUR PINS AND FOBS

Dear Wicked Hares,

We want to inform you about an important decision regarding our catalog. Due to the very limited profit margin on pins and fobs, and especially after the new customs duties came into effect, we have decided to discontinue these products. Another reason behind this choice is that pins and fobs have unfortunately been the main cause of repeated shipping delays. We are truly concerned that such delays may harm our image and our ability to serve you in the best possible way.

For this reason, we will fulfil the pin orders placed during the latest market, but we will not accept any further requests. We sincerely regret this decision, but in such a delicate moment of your Hare’s personal life, it has become necessary in order to avoid adding extra stress and further delays to those already caused by customs.

Once all pending orders are shipped, we will organise a clearance sale of the remaining stock and, of course, we will notify you in advance.

We kindly ask you to share this information with your LNS, so they can promptly update their catalogs and remove these items.

Please note that the rest of our catalog remains intact and always available: patterns, fabrics, thread keeps, thread drops, and also all the small handmade accessories that we occasionally offer in limited editions.

Thank you all for your understanding and continued support.

With gratitude,

Your Hare 🐇

COVEN AT THE BEACH - NeedleworK marketplace 2025

COVEN AT THE BEACH: new for Needlework Marketplace 2025

Who says witches only gather under the moonlight? This summer, our coven has packed their brooms and pointed hats… and headed straight to the seaside! 

Coven at the Beach is the brand-new design by The Primitive Hare, lovingly stitched by Elisabetta on our enchanting new linen Cornwall Sand 30ct. This soft sandy fabric is the perfect backdrop for seaside magic and witchy fun.

To make your stitching even more spellbinding, we’ve conjured a charming set of accessories to match:

a playful thread keeper,

a magical scissor jewel to guard your precious blades

and three hand-painted pins, as useful as they are bewitching.

All these goodies will debut at the Needlework Marketplace this August. Please place your orders through your favorite local needlework shop – all shops already have the details, so you won’t miss the tide!

And for those who prefer a direct deal with the witch herself – I will personally start selling all of these items only after the Marketplace closes at the end of August.

So grab your sunscreen, your stitching, and perhaps a broom for the sand dunes… and join the Coven at the Beach!

2025 NASHVILLE RELEASES: COFFEE QUEEN OF THE NEEDLES

 Who would have thought that a simple needle case series could become a timeless classic? Yet, after nearly 12 years of success, here we are with new creations that continue to celebrate our love for cross stitch , tea, coffee, and why not, maybe a little bit of both! 😜

This year, the Queen of the Needles series takes us into a new chapter, where thread meets coffee and tea! ☕🍵 If you’re one of those who can’t live without a steaming cup of tea (or a good coffee, because that works too!), these two new Queens are made just for you. Imagine: a queen with a cup of tea in one hand and a needle in the other, the perfect combination of cross stitch passion and love for hot drinks. 😌✨

Whether you’re a tea lover or a coffee fanatic, these Queens will make the perfect addition to your collection! With over 12 years of history, this series has carved out its identity and built a community of stitching friends who have become an integral part of its success. And who knows? Maybe this year, one of you will recognize yourselves in the new Queen of the Needles, ready to bring their coffee or tea to the right dose to spark creativity!

Of course, to accompany these adorable queens, I couldn’t resist creating a matching set of pins and a Scissor Fob to decorate your stitching basket! And, of course, a themed Smart Thread Keeper had to be part of the collection as well!

Inside your thread keeper, you’ll find five thread drops, but if you’d like more, you can also purchase the extra pack containing 12 additional drops separately. 💛

I can’t wait for these new Queens to come to life in your stitches and become part of your creations. Ready to stitch your own little piece of coffee, tea, and a touch of magic?
