The English designer Anna Pearson just posted a guide to the tools useful for needlepoint on her blog. The article also explains needlepoint for those who are new to it, and uses a lot of British language versus what we Americans might say. She calls Zweigart type needlepoint canvas even weave, for example, and talks about power points (electrical outlets) and flat headed drawing pins (thumb tacks). She also prefers Appleton crewel but then many of her designs are pillows or for footstools or other items that get wear.

It's a good orientation for folks who are in the United Kingdom and very interesting for those of us who are not to read.
