Back from TNNA 2010 in Columbus

We are back from TNNA, Columbus. Though the show was in no way comparable to the Minneapolis Quilt Market, it was better attended than last year. There were thousands of great painted canvases, beautiful designs of cross-stitch, needlepoint and LOTS of yarn. We were happy to feature several major designers from the States and Europe.

TNNA 2010

Thank you all who visited our booth. It was a great pleasure to show you the newest designer colors, the latest designer collections, the new product lines and the most beautiful new designs. Also, we thank all the great Designers who sent us their newest wonderful models to feature at TNNA.

NEW LINE OF PRODUCTS: SILK!!! Pearl Silk

VALDANI is introducing

PURE Filament SILK - the shiniest and strongest natural fibre

THE ONLY HAND-DYED SILK ON THE MARKET FOR BOTH HAND AND MACHINE

Au Ver à Soie by VALDANI:  Pearl Silk (Soie Perlée)
~ Hand-Dyed, Colorfast ~

... is a 3-ply twisted filament silk perlé

- made of the best quality of raw filament silk: unrivaled brightness and softness.

- smooth, soft, and lustrous; the tight twist of the ply results in a light play of sparkles.

- both for HAND: needlepoint, wool appliqué, stitching, embroidery, hand-sewn embellishments, cross stitching, quilting, ribbon work, knitting, crochet, tatting, smocking, weaving, lace making, braiding, beading, as weaving warp - as it is unbreakable, ornamentation.

- and MACHINE: excellent as top thread for stitching, quilting, thread embellishment (use it with an 18 size needle);  also beautiful in bobbin work.
It is considered as a reference thread in all needlework activities.

Education: Pure filament silk is the highest quality silk, as the fibers do not need to be spun, they come naturally in long strands from the silkworm. Spun silks are made of shorter fibers. They come from broken cocoons or the beginning and end of cocoons.

"Favorite Things: Valdani Hand Dyed Variegated Threads"

"I discovered Valdani Hand Dyed Threads about a year ago, when I was working on my Paisley Pavane quilt. I absolutely love them! They really are hand-dyed though I can’t imagine how they go about doing that without losing their minds. I mean, hand dyed fabric is one thing, but thread? Anyway, Valdani is a cotton thread, and it comes in two weights and a pretty large assortment of colors. Variegated thread adds such a wonderful touch to quilts, and cotton thread is so much easier to work with than rayon.
The Valdani threads have very short color sections compared to other variegated threads on the market (Signature Thread’s King Tut line of variegated threads has pretty short color sections, but they are not hand-dyed). You get some wonderful dimensional effects with these threads when used for quilting. Beware: variegated threads are addicting, just like fat quarter bundles. The colors are all so pretty, you can’t stop with just one spool."

"...my customers are loving it!"

I wanted to let you know how much I LOVE using Valdani 3-strand floss and how much my customers are loving it! I have been offering a free pattern each month on my website. I put together 12 balls of floss for the entire year and I just sold my last kit! That was 20 kits already sold at the beginning of March!

I'm very proud to say I use Valdani exclusively in all my designs. Thank you very much for such a lovely product.

"I have been selling the Three-Stranded Floss with great success..."

"Valdani has designed and created the new 3-Strand Floss balls and spools, named “Three-Strand Floss®. It was introduced in early 2006. This new product was created in response to the punch needle market’s needs for designer and consumers. The was no product in our market like this before. We have extensively marketed and sold this beautiful product ever since it was introduced, as “Three-Stranded Floss”. We sell this product at Trade Shows, Festivals, to designers, in classes, magazines, books, and at our store. Customers really love this product and we sell a lot of it. All of my customers know that this thread is produced by Valdani. Many on them identify it with the company itself, calling it “the three-strand floss company”.

I have been selling the “Three-Stranded Floss” with great success each year in our company. It is a large part of our sales volume, since we have added it to our inventory. It by far outsells all of our other threads we have available. We have put a lot of effort and money into marketing and carrying this product and it has paid off for us. The “Three-Stranded Floss” is the new favorite thread for punch needle in our market."

"...the Valdani tension was the best."

"I was looking closely at my quilts the other day and of all the threads I used in them, the Valdani tension was the best (35wt cotton with a 40/2 poly in the bobbin). No loopies or railroad tracks and the thread didn't break once! I'm really looking forward to receiving my purchase. I'm going to have so much fun!"

"Valdani is known worldwide as the Three-Strand Floss Company"

"As a designer, I created two color lines, Vintage Hues and Muddy Monet for Valdani.

In preparation for the 2005 Market, I conducted a survey of both stitchery designers and consumers to determine if there was market for 3-strand floss. Specifically: “Would designers and consumers welcome the first product change in a century?” The response was a resounding yes!

In 2006, Three Strand Floss® was introduced to the US Market. As a designer, I am responsible for 2 color collections that are part of Three Strand Floss. As a result of the introduction, Valdani is now known worldwide as the Three Strand Floss Company."

"Les fils Valdani sont idéaux..."

Les fils Valdani sont idéaux pour les applications en laine ou en feutrine, pour le quilting et pour la broderie. Certains fils sont unis, d’autres changent de couleur. Toutes les couleurs de Valdani sont garanties grand teint.
