The 2 highest prices in our 6-kit sample
Atlantic Blue Canvas · Greystone NeedlepointThe featured range shows the two highest listed prices in our selected sample, not a market-wide average or typical price range. Designs, sizes, fibers, accessories, and support differ; these are not identical products. Some kits cost less than ours. USD prices checked October 12, 2026, before shipping and tax.
See the 6 kits, sources & how we compared
We reviewed one beginner or starter kit per retailer, each sold with a canvas and thread, using its public selling price without optional add-ons. All six were listed as available when checked. We excluded canvas-only products, digital patterns, classes, printed-canvas kits, and multi-canvas bundles. This is a non-random selection, not a survey of the whole market.
The featured comparison selects the two highest listed prices from that review: Atlantic Blue Canvas ($125.00) and Greystone Needlepoint ($148.00). Across all 6 reviewed kits, the full range is $28.49–$148.00, the average is $79.42, and the median is $60.00.
The average is the sum of the six prices divided by six, rounded to the nearest cent. The median is the midpoint of the sorted prices. We have not adjusted for size, fiber type, extra tools, shipping offers, or services, and price alone does not establish comparative quality. Retailer prices and availability can change.

Meet Jess, our founder
It started at stitch and gab.
I love needlepoint—the color, the calm, and especially the way it brings people together. But finding your way into the needlepoint world can feel much harder, and much lonelier, than it should.
Between stitches, stories, and tangled threads, I imagined a simpler way in: cheerful designs, every supply in one kit, a clear guide, and a circle where beginners help one another keep going. That’s the idea behind Knot Sister.
Come for the first stitch.
Stay for your Knot Sister.
The kit is just the beginning
A real person.
For the “wait, how?” moments.
