NewNeedlepoint.com just had it’s 3rd birthday. I am sometimes amazed that we made it this far. I keep making changes and tweaking my web store. I want it to be the best it can be.
NewNeedlepoint.com has 2 sections. There is my extensive collection of New Needlework books. I have expanded the books categories to cover other types of stitching in addition to Needlepoint.
There are knitting & crochet books, embroidery & cross-stitch books, color use & theory books and the catch-all misc. books category.
My Rare/Used Book titles are dictated by the books my customers want and the books that I can get, in reasonable condition. It is getting difficult to find decent, salable old books. Some of the Rare Books are getting quite hard to find.
I have also expanded the Rare/Used books categories to cover other types of Needlework.
I specialize in Bargello Needlepoint books although there aren’t that many of them out there, used or new.
The other side of NewNeedlepoint.com is the Canvases & Kits I sell. I stock mostly hand painted needlepoint designs by some of today’s great Needlepoint Designers. I have a special category for the gorgeous & colorful work of Laurel Burch.
I also have a good collection of Patt & Lee’s superior Glicee’
needlepoint designs including a whole section of Patt’s Scrap Threads collection. The perfect way to use all that extra stash we all have.
I assemble the kits myself, from the threads I love to stitch with. I use Anchor & DMC Perle Cotton Floss in sizes 3, 5 & 8. Also Kreinik Metallic Braid Thread in sizes 12 & 16.
I have a small Needlework Tool collection, all of it things I use and know work well.
I want to thank all my customers for 3 great years, so far. This coming year should be as interesting as the last 3 have been.
The subtitle to this book by well-known needlepoint teacher Ruth Dilts book is: Guide To Painted Canvas.
To quote Ms Dilts Forward: "Looking at a painted canvas can be very dainting. There are so many choices to be made. Where does one start? Actually this is the fun part, once you have developed some confidence. This book will help you gain that confidence.
Needlepoint 101 will help you look at any painted canvas and decide which basic stitches and threads to use. I will show you ... More Info
A recent and terrific book by June McKnight. In it she discusses the many types of unusual or over-dyed threads and yarns and how best to use each kind.
This small handy book contains full color graphs of 94 of stitches, stitched with these kinds of threads, so you will see exactly what you result will be. There are 3 pages with links to some of the speciality thread web sites.
One section covers satin stitches, another is upright stitches. A number of the stitches shown here are new ... More Info
New Discounted Price (I have too many copies)
According to Ms McKnight, this is her 15th book. June McKnight's Needlepoint & Bargello Needlepoint books are some of the best out there, as far as I can tell.
June McKnight books are always on point to their subject and take you through what ever you need to know or learn, for what ever the books' subject is.
I know that is vague but with 15 titles out there, and all still available and in print, this is something.
I believe I stock ... More Info
