Auburn’s creative scene just gained a vibrant new resident with the grand opening of Paper Dolls Needlepoint, a boutique dedicated to the timeless art of stitching. From canvases to threads, the shop offers a welcoming sanctuary for local crafters to gather and create.
What exactly is needlepoint?
To begin, let’s discover what needlepoint is. Needlepoint is a form of embroidery where yarn or thread is stitched through a gridded canvas to create intricate, durable patterns. Over the past year, the craft has experienced a significant modern resurgence, fueled by a new generation of enthusiasts who share contemporary, colorful designs across social media and build stitching communities.
