Michael's has a big bag of embroidery thread of many colors. Buy it, and a hoop (for now, I kind of like the spring loaded one over the screw one), and an embroidery needle...or a pack of them. The trick to needles is to have an idea of the fabric you want to embroider. You'll want a looser woven fabric—linen is great—whereby you can run the needle in between the weave. That said you don't need a terribly sharp needle thereby saving yourself from frequent pokings. Practice on an old piece of fabric. I like this index of stitches: http://inaminuteago.com/stitchindex.html. Start with a couple easy ones like the Running Stitch, Fly Stitch, and the Back Stitch. Good luck and have fun!
