For the most part, our canvases are sold unkitted to allow you a full choice in fiber selection.  Fibers make the canvas.  You are free to make your own selections or to call upon us for our input.  If you wish, we will even choose all of the fibers for your canvas and offer suggestions for stitches to be used.   Whether you prefer working with the basics or experimenting with the many specialty fibers on the market, our knowledgeable staff is available to help you personalize your canvas.  Fiber Selection

Return Policy 

Because we want to be sure that you always receive brand new fibers, we are not able to accept exchanges or returns on needlework fibers.
