Needlepoint Canvas Swatches

Melita just posted that she has swatches of colored needlepoint canvas she got from Fireside Stitchery.  This would be very handy if you did a lot of counted canvaswork and wanted to know what colors of the underlying needlepoint canvas are available.

Fireside still sells these swatches but it looks like only 24 colors are available now.  I think the mottled brown in the bottom row of Melita's picture has been discontinued except as a special order.

Fireside's website links don't always work.  If the above doesn't take you to Fireside's page selling blank canvas swatches, go to the link below, then click on "Unpainted Canvas" on the left side of the page.  Now click on "Swatches."

Blank Canvas a'Plenty

A friend recently asked me where to get blank canvas. It looks like Alex Paras Needle Arts has tons of sizes and colors.

Check the "Counted Canvaswork Shops" for other places that are likely to carry a large assortment of sizes and colors and canvas counts.
