February 2010 New Needlepoint Products
Over the next week or two, I have lots of news to share with you. There will be detailed posts and reviews on some new products, designer interviews and sneak of my new stuff coming out this month. For now, let’s start off with a round-up of some new needlepoint products just announced.
Maybe you love the look of Elizabeth Bradley, but wanted to star with something smaller. There are two new small pieces, available for the first time as a kit. One is a cherub and the other is a Christmas pudding.
River Silks has added a delightful Yellow Floral kit from Shelly Trubbey to their line. A series of single flower designs by Terry Dryden is also available as kits. These include Dahlia. They have also brought out their popular assortment packs in a three color size.
DebBee’s Designs has ventured into jewelry with a set of counted canvas designs for necklaces. Jewelry and hardware are included for one necklace, additional hardware can be ordered. I saw the book at my LNS on Monday and these look great! They also have additions to the Color Delights series ands new hand painted canvases.
Week’s Dye Works has added a crewel wool, #12 perle, and 2-strand floss to their line of threads. Dinky Dyes is coming out with new color of silk later this month. Planet Earth now has vegetable dyed 6 ply silk. If you haven’t used naturally dyed threads before, the colors are much more subtle.
Magnolia Collage is the newest in the Secret Garden Collection by Laura Perin. It’s stitched on sage green mono canvas. Raymond Crawford has an adorable graduation owl with lots of room for creative stitching and personalization.
The Caron Collection has a new instruction pack, Tiny Treasures, colorful geometric designs, many of which will fit in Sudberry’s new small box. Each uses one of their overdyes and a color of Snow. They also have a larger piece, Starry, Starry Night, which is now adapted as a chart pack in three different sizes.
CBK Needlepoint Collections has some great simple canvases from Designs by Karen. They are in a clean style that can be done by any stitcher with plain or fancy stitches.
