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).

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!
