I currently live in Fargo,NO. Dakota, and I was in Florida for 2 months looking for a shop that carried specialty threads such as silk,etc and I stumbled across this store by accident and what a wonderful accident this store had so many silk threads and other types of thread not just your DMC and Anchor Floss. Although I am an avid cross stitcher If you are a needlepoint enthusiast you will love his store, he has some of loveliest hand painted needlepoint canvas' I have ever seen all different types you must see them so if you have a day and are looking for a craft project go to Silk Road Needle Arts.By the way he does have some cross stitch books also. I know when I move down to Florida Permanently this is the store I will be going to for all my specialty threads and accessories. By the way when I was in Florida I went there 3 times. I Love This Store
