I happen to have a copy of the FREE Nordic Needle catalog sitting in
front of me.  The shop is located in Fargo, ND.  There are a few ways you
can obtain a copy for yourself.

1)  e-mail:  needle at corpcomm.net

2)  phone:  1-800-433-4321

3)  fax:  701-235-0952

I have found many interesting things in the catalog, not just hardanger
and counted cross-stitch.  I have seen blackwork books and patterns, lace
making, shuttle and needle tatting, ribbon embroidery, etc.  They also
have a section on supplies and fabrics.  

I have ordered from them, and the turn-around time on an order is very
good.  I think I had my order back within 1 1/2 weeks, maybe less (can't
remember for sure).

Subject: Re: Mail Order Needlework Supplies

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this, but I wanted to order
something from this source first--

Needlepoint Joint  241 Historic 25th Street
Ogden, UT 84401/800-660-4355.  The catalog is free, and I got excellent
response and service on my order.  They carry a really large range of
needlework supplies, and have tools and materials, as well as books for
knitting, crochet, tatting, lacemaking, embroidery, and even things like
the shutle/needles used in making netting.  Their range of metallic as
well as other needlework threads is outstanding--they even had gilt
broad plate, as well as its even rarer sibling, twisted plate--for those
who aren't extreme metal embroidery devotees, broad plate is a narrow
strip of metal that is couched down, rather as bullion is handled.
Their prices are fair for the quality of materials.  If you live in a
large urban area and have great access to exotic needlework supplies,
this may be of merely academic interest, but if your local facilties are
not so hot, I strongly urge you to call and get a catalog--both the call
and the catalog are free, after all.  If you can resist ordering after
that--well, not my fault!  I speak as a satisfied customer here, they
didn't promise me anything if I lured more suckers in! (;-})
