Spice Village Nutmeg House
The Nutmeg House from the Spice Village Collection, rendered in needlepoint with the nostalgic cottage details that have made these ceramic houses beloved for decades. This canvas is part of an ongoing series — each house is available individually, or they can be collected together to create a full village display.
Nutmeg was once so rare and coveted that in the seventeenth century, the Dutch traded the entire island of Manhattan to the British in exchange for Run, a tiny nutmeg-producing island in the Banda Sea.

Kitting Your Canvas
At Pierrepont, we offer three thread lines, each with its own character
DMC Pearl Cotton
Our standard kit features DMC's beloved long-staple Egyptian cotton, trusted by needleworkers for generations. With over 500 colors — the widest palette available — every subtle variation in your design is matched with precision, so the richness of each canvas truly comes through. DMC is also the most cost-effective option, making it an especially wonderful choice for beginners and anyone building a collection.
Pepper Pot Silk
Our silk kit graces your canvas with Pepper Pot Silk from Planet Earth Fibers, a single strand of pure silk with a shine that surpasses most of its silk counterparts. Each of its 285 colors is dyed by hand, holding a tonal depth no machine-dyed thread can offer, and its lustrous coverage lends your finished piece the soft gleam of satin. Durable and effortless in hand, it is beloved by beginners and expert needleworkers alike.
Radiance Metallic
Our metallic kit features Radiance from The Meredith Collection, a high-sheen thread with a smooth, softly twisted hand. Across its classic and jewel palettes, the shimmer lives in the thread itself — radiance glimmers the way candlelight does and glides through 18-mesh canvas without the coiling that gives metallics their reputation. Radiance is the choice for holiday canvases and celebration pieces, or for any needleworker who wants their finished work to catch the light.
