Stocking your sewing kit
A well-stocked sewing kit makes every project — from a quick repair to a full garment — easier and more enjoyable. At Föndurlist you will find quality thread, needles, zips, buttons and notions from trusted brands like Gutermann and Prym. Please note that many sewing items are made to order.
Thread and needles
Good thread is the backbone of every project. Gutermann thread is strong, smooth and available in a huge range of colours. Match your needle type and size to your fabric — the right pairing gives clean, even stitches and prevents damage.
Fastenings
Zips, buttons and other fastenings finish a garment and affect both look and function. Choose zip length and type (dress, jacket, invisible) to suit the piece, and pick buttons that complement the fabric and style.
Notions and tools
Prym and similar brands make the small tools and notions — pins, measuring tape, marking tools, fasteners — that make sewing smoother and more precise. A good pair of scissors, kept only for fabric, is well worth it.
Frequently asked questions
What thread should I use?
For most general sewing a good all-purpose polyester thread like Gutermann works beautifully — it is strong, smooth and comes in a wide colour range. Match the thread colour to your fabric, and choose specialist threads for heavy-duty or decorative work.
How do I choose the right needle?
Match the needle type and size to your fabric: fine needles for lightweight fabrics, heavier needles for denim and canvas, and ballpoint needles for knits. Using the correct needle gives even stitches and avoids snags or skipped stitches.
Are sewing items in stock?
Many of our sewing supplies are made to order rather than kept in stock, so delivery can take a little longer than in-stock items. If you need something by a certain date, contact us at [email protected] and we will let you know the expected timing.
Do you ship across Iceland?
Yes, we ship nationwide and shipping is free on orders of 20,000 ISK or more. You can also pick up your order at our store at Einhella 11 - 107, 221 Hafnarfjörður.
