Meet the maker

Naughty Needles started with one pair of knitting needles and a habit of saying yes to just one more project. It grew into rugs, cushions, crochet toys, cross stitch samplers, wall clocks made from old vinyl records and art made from soda cans.

Nothing here comes off a production line. Items are made in small batches, so stock changes and some pieces only exist once.

Questions people ask

How do I order?

Open any item and tap Order this, or send a WhatsApp or email with the item you want. You will get a reply confirming the price, delivery cost and timing before you pay anything.

How do I pay?

By EFT. Once your order is confirmed we send banking details, and your item is held for you as soon as payment reflects.

Where do you deliver?

Anywhere in South Africa, by door-to-door courier or to a PUDO locker near you. Larger rugs are too big for lockers, so they go by courier.

How long does delivery take?

Usually 1 to 4 working days by PUDO and 2 to 4 working days by courier, once your item has been posted.

Can I get something in different colours or sizes?

Often, yes. Many pieces can be made to order in the colours you choose. Send a message describing what you have in mind and we will let you know what is possible and how long it will take.

Where are you based?

Naughty Needles is a small home business in Pretoria. Everything is made by hand and posted from Pretoria.
