As to finding the Amazon rep(s), just look for the people the shop owners are glaring at. The only thing I've ever looked for in the thread arts category on Amazon is light/magnifiers. They have a ton of them. Naturally not the brand I was shopping for, though.The Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226040212425559526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686273156594002956.post-49110380398253650632015-05-28T06:48:20.274-04:002015-05-28T06:48:20.274-04:00Having attended this show several times in the pas...Having attended this show several times in the past, I can tell you that yarn and knitting supplies make up perhaps 60-65% of what's there. Needlepoint and counted thread make up the rest, with that weighted more in favor of needlepoint. Honestly, I think they'd be going for the knitting/crocheting things and products that are already kitted up. Those fit their business model a bit better than needlepoint. Even counted thread fits better than needlepoint. I'll be interested in seeing what starts turning up on Amazon. I'm lucky to have several needlework shops to shop in locally, unlike many who have to travel a great distance to reach one. I don't think I've ever looked for anything other than books on Amazon, by the way, when it comes to needlework.<br /><br />I'll be there this weekend. Maybe we can play "Where's Amazon?" Do you think they'll make it easier for us by wearing stocking hats and striped scarves?Sara Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257302421725766079noreply@blogger.com
