MEET THE TEAM
It began at I Sodi — two strangers, a shared love of needlepoint, and an unexpected conversation that would become Le Fil.
French for “the thread,” Le Fil represents connection — weaving together time-honored craftsmanship and contemporary design with a distinctly modern point of view.
What started as two separate ideas has become a full-service needlepoint studio reimagining the stitcher experience.

Introduction
New to needlepoint?
Needlepoint looks intricate — but at its core, it’s simple. A canvas, a needle, a few threads, and a rhythm you’ll find faster than you think.
Our beginner kits include everything you need to get started: hand-painted canvases, carefully chosen threads, and clear guidance for every stitch.
Whether you’re new to the craft or returning after years away, this is where it begins — one stitch at a time.
Chapter One
Volume 01Terms 101
Needlepoint has its own quiet language — mesh counts, stitches, fibers, and finishing terms that describe how a design comes to life.
We’ve simplified the essentials: what “mesh” means, how to read canvas markings, and why “blocking” matters after you’ve finished stitching.
Think of this as your translator — the terms you’ll hear often, explained simply, so you can focus on the fun part: stitching.
Chapter Two
Volume 02Threads 101
Threads define the look and feel of every piece. Some are matte, some glossy; some glide smoothly, others add texture and depth.
At Le Fil, we work with premium fibers — silk, cotton, wool, and blends — each selected for performance and beauty.
Understanding thread weight, ply, and sheen will help you choose the right material for your project. Start with what feels good in your hands, and let your canvas guide you from there.
Chapter Three
Volume 03Stitches 101
Every stitch builds on the next. Tent, half-cross, continental, and basketweave — the foundations that create structure, texture, and flow.
Each has its own rhythm: tent for simplicity, half-cross for speed, continental for control, and basketweave for longevity.
Once you learn these, you can stitch anything.

We offer professional finishing services for needlepoint projects of all kinds. Every piece entrusted to us is treated with the same respect and precision we bring to our own work, finished with premium materials and techniques to ensure enduring quality and beauty through the years.
