Whitecroft is a long established maker of needles from its beginnings in 1910
A lot of people will regonise it by its pale blue packaging. In 1989 Whitecroft and Prym were joined and were then named PRYM WHITECROFT UK.
It is now known as WHITECROFT Essentials Ltd. They are going through many changes in their centenary year 2010. A number of items have now been re-packed and branded and they have a new logo as above.
