Plush Towels, Table Linens, and Baby Items to Cross Stitch

We are excited about our new lines of plush terry bath towels, bright new baby items, elegant table linens, and colorful kitchen towels for counted cross stitch and needlework.  We think you will be, too!

There have never been any good Bath Towels available for cross stitch or needlework until now.  I am sure  you will be impressed with the quality of these super plush towels available in beautiful decorator colors in the Deluxe or Popcorn styles.  The Hand Towels and Fingertip Towels are equally impressive.  The towels are on page 25.

See the colorful kitchen towels on page 23 of our new additions.  All are absorbent 100% cotton and are sure to brighten up your kitchen.  Quick and easy to stitch using any border patterns or small designs. Cross stitch up a storm and have plenty of great gifts for yourself, your friends and family.

Baby will be well taken care of in the gift line with our new snap button bibs, terry hooded baby towels, and the 45" bath towel (also perfect for adults) which matches the bibs and hooded towels.  Bright colors are fun and add sparkle to baby.   New baby items are on page 26.

Lyon Table Linens will add an attractive, elegant touch to your table, whether you choose the topper, runners, or placemats.  See page 24.

For your convenience, the new items will be up on the Online Catalog shortly.

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

Opportunity is Knocking!

We have been hearing a lot of comments regarding WalMart getting rid of their craft section, including cross stitch.  This is a great time for independent stores to start carrying DMC and Anchor floss, as well a great opportunity to increase their needlework departments.  We have many items that would make a great addition to your store.

It is independent businesses that bring consumers the new products and the variety of products that they have come to depend upon, so it behooves us all to support them and not the chain stores, such as WalMart, who try to 'milk' the popularity of an area, then drop it as soon as their sales don't meet their expectations.

Our independent needlework stores are the life of the needlework industry. Please support them!

Happy Stitching!!  Beth

Lots of NEW Products for Fall!

We are excited about all the NEW Products that we have been adding just in time for fall.  A wide selection of totes in attractive tapestry fabrics, real lambskin leather, shiny fun metallic prints, and more!  Be sure to check them out on our NEW Product pages 17, 18, 19, and 20.  The new items are also on our Online Catalog.  Consumers, please contact your local needlework store if you wish to order.

Stitcher's Lotion is a very popular item.  No doubt it is because it is a good product and really works as advertised.  We have added 3 NEW scents: Raspberry Orange, Cinnamon Stick, and Mmm...Peach.  Your customers are sure to want to try out the new scents as well.  With fall and winter fast approaching, hand lotion is something to keep in stock.

And music, too!  Classical music and Christmas music cd's are now available at a reasonable price.  Sold in assortment packs of 6 cd's.  You may even listen to a sample of music from the different assortments.

New Christmas Stocking prints in Star Bright and Holly & Pine will be sure to be popular with your customers.  See all the Christmas premade items available by clicking here.

We have lots more new items that will be showing up over the next few months, so be sure to keep checking back.

Happy Stitching!  Beth
