Well the work on www.nvcrossstitch.com has proceeded well. We have now populated over a hundred cross stitch kits onto the site with new pictures and descriptions. This is a daunting task though as there are still over 1000 more kits to get listed.

Whilst we are getting the new shop established we are offering a 10% discount on our kits. This has proven to be quite popular and we have had to restock some kits as they have sold out.

Something which has become apparent to me is the proloific production of new kits from manufacturers, and the way some really nice kits are no longer produced. There are some kits we have which we will be unable to restock once they are sold. This brings in an interesting observation, we have many satisfied customers who have been looking for out of production kits that we still have. This is probably a reflection of the high stock levels we keep - everything listed on our websites is available in stock!



 Well back to the task of listing then. Once all of the cross stitch kits and accessories are listed we can turn our attention to the www.nvwools.com website where there are hundreds of wool, yarns, knitting needles and patterns to be listed.

Neath Valley Wools and Cross stitch shops now on-line

I love my blog title knits and fleece, for some reason my better half was less than amused!

We have been working hard to bring Neath Valley Wools www.nvwools.com and Neath Valley Cross stitch www.nvcrossstitch.com to the market place. We have both shops on line and we are currently running a 10% discount on our cross stitching kits whilst we populate the shop.

The shops are both internet based and will eventually replace our SmallsCrafts website at www.smallscrafts.co.uk. The new branding identifies our position in the Neath Valley and once we get our High Street shop open hopefully it will be a magnet for locals and for people visiting the area (or making a short detour from the M4 to find us).

 Yes I know its only 5 months until Christmas and here is our first Christmas picture for the blog, this kit is discounted on our cross stitch site - just follow the link. There are loads more cross stitch kits with a Christmas flavour too follow this link for more http://www.nvcrossstitch.com/christmas-stitching-gifts-26/

Although populating the new shops is quite time consuming it is also good fun and gives us a chance to review our stocks and to decide which we will add to. Janet is currently looking at the new range of Heritage Crafts kits and we will put them onto our site as soon as we receive them into stock.

We do appreciate your feedback so do not hesitate to email us with your thoughts, suggestions and special requests.

Until next time.
