2021 Nashville Needlework Market

Due to our concerns about your health and safety, and the current situation in TN, we have decided to cancel the 2021 Nashville Needlework Market which was scheduled for May 21-23, 2021. We are not planning to do a virtual market nor do a Fall Market. There is too much time involved, and we are not able to pursue those alternatives at this time.

    If you summitted a recipe for the 2021 Show Cookbook, it will become a 2022 Show Cookbook instead. As it is exclusively available to exhibitors and stores who attend, this will preserve the stores' ability to promote this special cookbook for their events next year.

    We are really going to miss seeing all of you! But we want you to stay safe and healthy, so you can attend the premier wholesale Nashville Needlework Market on a future day. We are working with the hotel to schedule the 2022 Nashville Needlework Market and will make announcements about the next show once details are confirmed.

EZ or Easy Count Cross Stitch Fabrics

  Easy Count, EZ Count, or Easy Grid fabrics from Zweigart are marked every 10 threads with a gray line. The markings will wash out with very warm water, but this fabric is especially useful when stitching full coverage patterns which means you wouldn't need to wash out the markings as they are covered by your stitching.

We currently have some Easy Count fabrics in stock and more are coming, so we will have a wide selection for your stitching needs. Always ready to #KeepOnStitchin'! Beth

SCAM ALERT!!

Beware!! A company called Global Expo is trying to get stores and exhibitors to book their rooms for Nashville through them. They have Nothing to do with Yarn Tree or Needlework Retailer, or the trade show. They may sound and look legit, but they are not! Exhibitors rooms can only be booked through Needlework Retailer; stores should contact the hotel directly using the code you will receive after registering as a buyer with Needlework Retailer.
