Stopped by Hobby House today to check out the fiber selection for cross stitch and needlepoint. There is also a large selection of quilting supplies though I did not have a chance to really look through that section so cannot speak to it. The cross stitch fibers are quite extensive. It looks like they are carrying the entire DMC, Color Works, and Weeks Dye Works in addition to several other lines. I brought a couple of cross stitch patterns with me to kit and was able to find 90% of the colors that I needed. The cross stitch patterns available are mostly traditional style with a lot of samplers. If that's your thing, you'll be quite happy with the selection. Majority of the patterns do not come kitted, though you should easily be able to do that with the thread selection in store. Upstairs, you'll find the fibers that are typically used for tapestry/needlepoint. There were some needlepoint canvases available, but the selection was fairly small. Lots of basic fibers were available - silk and ivory, essentials, Milan, vineyard silk, pepper pot. If you're looking for specialty threads like silk lame braid, fyre works, neon rays, kreinik, radiance, entice, etc. there is a pretty small selection. I was looking for silk lame braid for 18 mesh - they do not currently stock this version (I only saw petite) - and I didn't see another sparkly thread that would work similarly for the effect I wanted. Overall, I will definitely back. The store is well organized and I'm particularly interested in thoroughly looking through the quilting side of the shop. Not a one stop shop if you're a needle pointer, but great for cross stitch and, based on a cursory look, quilting. read more
