Colorful NEW Totes and New Items from Charles Craft

We have been busy, busy, busy!  Lots of wonderful new totes have been selected with you in mind.  Be sure to take a look as we are certain you will like them as much as we do.  New product pages 22, 20, 19, 18, and 17  feature the new totes. 

Our music CD's have a nice selection of tunes.  Each assortment of 6 CD's has at least 4 different CD's in it.  And each assortment varies (each assortment is not all the same) so if you order two or more assortments, there will be different CD's in each one.  Click here to see Music CD's.  You can even listen to a portion of the songs in the assortments.  Just select an assortment and click on the little movie film image.

You may not be aware that Charles Craft has made extensive changes to their bib line and to their velour guest towels.  The new bibs and towels are plusher than the old items (which are being discontinued).  We have new item numbers for all the newest bibs and new towels, so be sure to check out page 21 for the new items from Charles Craft.

Perhaps you've also noticed that we are making a page for each month as we add new book titles.  This is so that you may see all the new titles added for a month on one page.  We've created pages for August, September, and October (titles added so far to date).  If we are still in a month, such as October, we will continue to add books to that page throughout the month until the following month has started.  Our printed book list, which you may also access online, will be laid out in the same new format.

We have even more surprises in store for you as we add additional new products.  Check back again soon!

Happy Stitching!  Beth

New Needlework Stores Opening Across the Country

As a wholesale distributor, we are among the first contacted when a new needlework store is planning to open.  We've been hearing from quite a few new customers in the past few months and welcome them to the best industry around!

More brick & mortar needlework stores are great news for all of us.  Needlework stores generate excitement in needlework!  More to see, more to stitch, more stuff for our stash, and lots more fun as more people become interested and involved in our passion of stitching.

Existing needlework stores benefit, too, because having more stores  introducing new stitchers to counted cross stitch increases the number of stitchers and the potential that they will visit your store.  We all know how addictive cross stitch can be!   

Want to learn how to stitch or need a great beginner chart for your store's classes?  Please use our "Learn to Cross Stitch in 5 Minutes" instructions.  Stores may print off this instruction sheet (please give Yarn Tree credit) or you may link to  it on your store's web site.  I created this little balloon design when we had our own retail store many years ago, and thousands have learned to cross stitch using it.

Happy Stitching!  Beth
