Summer is here, and that means...
Roughly marking the halfway point of 2016, the summer solstice has
ushered in sunny days and holidays. We want to make sure you are
in-the-know about all things Kreinik, so here's a quick update.
FACTORY HOURS: We will be closed July 4 through 8
for summer holiday. No threads will be made or shipped from our
facility during that time as our staff enjoys vacation time with family
and friends. We will reopen Monday, July 11.
FACTORY OUTLET: When we return from holiday, our factory outlet store
will be open during regular business hours (call for hours, 1-800-537-2166).
So if you are traveling through the area, be sure to stop by 1708 Gihon
Road, Parkersburg WV 26102. See our needle arts gallery, and pick up
odds and ends at great prices (merchandise varies) for your favorite
needlework or fiber hobby. We'd love to meet you.
PRODUCTION SCHEDULE: For the last six months, we have reorganized our
production department and implemented new manufacturing procedures. We
are happy to say threads are being made and shipped more quickly. We
hope you've noticed this change—it is important to us that you get the
Kreinik threads you need when you need them. Thank you for your business
and support.
JULY SHOW SCHEDULE: Doug Kreinik will be at the Detroit Maker Faire
event at the end of July. Have you ever been to a Maker Faire? As a
creative person, you will love it. Visit Doug in the needlework
pavilion. For details, visit http://www.
AUGUST
SHOW SCHEDULE: As we just finished the fourth show of 2016, we are
gearing up for the next one: the Handweaver's Guild of America
conference, Convergence, in Milkwaukee, Wisconsin the first of August.
Kreinik will be in booth 635 with fibers for weaving, wearable art,
mixed media, home accessories, wall hangings, and other fiber art. Doug
Kreinik will be leading two segments in the demo area: one on making
custom trims, and one on "all about" metallics for weaving. We hope to
see you there. For details on the show, visit https://www.weavespindye.org/
SEPTEMBER SHOW SCHEDULE: After Convergence, Kreinik will be a vendor
at the Destination Dallas fall needlework market in September. We are
already working on new thread colors for this event. This is a wholesale
only trade show; shops and designers can get details here: http://www.destinationdallas.
Hope you are enjoying 2016 with family, friends, and stitchery. Now
is a great time to plan and organize your handmade Christmas
projects…teach a friend/relative to stitch at barbecues or
get-togethers…or visit needlework shops as you travel on vacation. Happy
summer!
