The best way to buy counted cross stitch, needlework, and stitchery is to shop at your local needlework store. They love stitching as much as you do, and they are there to help you.

 All the products that you will find here are available to your favorite store from Yarn Tree. It is impossible for a store to stock everything, but if they do not have what you want in stock, most stores will be happy to special order it for you (make a note of our item number for easy ordering). If you do not have a needlework store in your area feel free to contact us directly at 1-800-247-3952 or e-mail us at info@yarntree.com  Be sure to check out our list of needlework stores. All prices shown are suggested retail in U.S. dollars; actual prices may vary by location. If you live outside the U.S. here is an easy to use currency converter.  For wholesale information call 1-800-247-3952.
