Needle & Arts Centre in Campbell River ~ since October 1999 Welcome to our Needle & Arts Centre and The Framing Post!

The Needle & Arts Centre in conjunction with the Pier Street Gallery and The Framing Post in the heart of Campbell River’s historical Pier Street. It is an established all-in-one art and craft place, unique in Western Canada, with passionate knit-ters and passionate picture framers; the people you can trust. A unique yarn, pottery, gallery, picture framing and gift store on the North Island.

Our large selection and stock of quality yarns, from affordable to exclusive, combined with qual-ity service and consulting attracts customers locally and on-line. Offering one on one teaching for knitting and crochet and a range of in-store workshops with leading edge designers.

We react quickly to changing trends and products and diversify whenever an opportunity arises (ex-amples are the import of knitting accessories from India, started six years ago, and the increased of-fer of hand-made garments in our store in 2011). Twice a year we have a huge Clearance Sales just in time for new colours and trends to arrive.

The Needle & Arts Centre’s business is based on customer service, consultation prior to product purchase, plus free consulting during projects, these are the main reasons why many of our customers consider the Needle & Arts Centre to be one of the best yarn stores in North America.

We are passionate about quality, in everything we do. Meet the team of knitting fairies at the Needle & Arts Centre!
