I happen to have a copy of the FREE Nordic Needle catalog sitting in

front of me.  The shop is located in Fargo, ND.  There are a few ways you

can obtain a copy for yourself.

 

1) e-mail:  needle at corpcomm.net

 

2) phone:  1-800-433-4321

 

3) fax:  701-235-0952

 

I have found many interesting things in the catalog, not just hardanger

and counted cross-stitch.  I have seen blackwork books and patterns, lace

making, shuttle and needle tatting, ribbon embroidery, etc.  They also

have a section on supplies and fabrics.  

 

I have ordered from them, and the turn-around time on an order is very

good. I think I had my order back within 1 1/2 weeks, maybe less (can't

remember for sure).

Subject: Re: Mail Order Needlework Supplies

 

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this, but I wanted to order

something from this source first--

 

Needlepoint Joint  241 Historic 25th Street

Ogden, UT 84401/800-660-4355.  The catalog is free, and I got excellent

response and service on my order.  They carry a really large range of

needlework supplies, and have tools and materials, as well as books for

knitting, crochet, tatting, lacemaking, embroidery, and even things like

the shutle/needles used in making netting.  Their range of metallic as

well as other needlework threads is outstanding--they even had gilt

broad plate, as well as its even rarer sibling, twisted plate--for those

who aren't extreme metal embroidery devotees, broad plate is a narrow

strip of metal that is couched down, rather as bullion is handled.

Their prices are fair for the quality of materials.  If you live in a

large urban area and have great access to exotic needlework supplies,

this may be of merely academic interest, but if your local facilties are

not so hot, I strongly urge you to call and get a catalog--both the call

and the catalog are free, after all.  If you can resist ordering after

that--well, not my fault!  I speak as a satisfied customer here, they

didn't promise me anything if I lured more suckers in! (;-})
