About HM Nabavian

For decades, our NYC business has been a trusted source for premium needlepoint and textile supplies, working closely with Appletons English Wool—the gold standard in wool yarns since 1835. Now, as the official U.S. distributor, we’re bringing this heritage brand directly to American retailers. Appletons’ richly dyed, long-staple wool is renowned for its vibrant colors, durability, and smooth stitching experience, making it the top choice for needlepoint, tapestry, and embroidery artists. With a legacy spanning nearly two centuries, Appletons has been the wool of choice for restoration projects in the UK’s most treasured landmarks and for artisans worldwide. As a distributor deeply rooted in the craft community, we ensure quick U.S. fulfillment, competitive wholesale pricing, and expert guidance for shops looking to stock the best in British wool.
