We have lived and loved the knit & crochet category longer than any other craft category,
as yarn and its related implements were part of the original mix of products we sold to Five
& Dime stores in the 1930’s. Our product selection has changed
dramatically but our commitment to this category has not wavered through these many years.
Convenience and selection is what drives our knit & crochet business. We stock key brands
full line and we offer product depth which surpasses any distributor in the country.
Strong vendor partnerships, many of which go back 40 years and more, provide you with early
new product releases, exceptional pricing, strong fill rates and sales tools. These strong
partnerships are exemplified in key market brands which choose Notions Marketing as their
sole distributor to the independent trade.
Whether you are an independent yarn shop or a general craft store with a yarn department,
you will find Notions Marketing to be one of your most reliable and cost competitive sources.
Needle Arts has seen its ups and downs but our commitment to success in this category has
been constant. With over 9,000 unique items in the category, we are likely the largest
single source of needleart supplies in the US!
Whether you come here to enjoy our great everyday prices on DMC products or to have access
to every kit produced by the top three needleart kit producers in the country, we are sure
to exceed your expectations. Ask any existing Notions Marketing customer about us and they
will start to tell you about our customer service. Our reputation for customer service is a
key component of our company culture. We are here to be of service to the independent
retailer and that pervades everything we do.
We know color is key to your buying decisions in this category so you will find images
and/or color chips for every item within the category on our orderable website. Many drop
ship programs compliment our expansive in-stock mix of needle art products; you are sure
to find us to be a low cost provider and a reliable resource for many years to come.
Sewing & Quilting is an ebb and flow of American culture. We believe that and we
follow that tide. With a name like Notions Marketing you would expect us to be top in
all things notions and we are. Best assortment, best price, best in stock position
and best ability to get it to your store fast!
Sewing & Quilting is a category that is the fabric of America, encompassing rich
history, art and story. We feel that passion every day from the stores we work with
and we take that passion seriously. From scissors to thread and needles to irons,
we work hard to have everything your customer needs and wants.
Fabric is the paper of the sewing and quilting world. We know that it is essential
to offer a selection that will meet all your needs and that it is our responsibility
to provide you with the best fabric at the best prices. That is why we feel it is
important to offer as much drop ship fabric as possible. We want to save you money.
When it comes to everyday basics we know that time is money, so for your convenience
we offer many basic fabrics from our warehouse. Find muslin, broadcloth, flannel
and Springs Creative’s top 50 SKU’s available for your store now. Order 1 bolt or
order 20; we don’t have a minimum because we know how important your money is.
Think of our warehouse as your warehouse.

New products drive this product category so every day we add more new items to fill
insatiable demand in the market. Over 15,000 new items in 2008; that’s over 60 new

coming to market. A very tuned-in customer base tips us on any hot new suppliers in
the market. The net result is pure convenience for the scrapbook retailer. Big brands,
premier brands, new brands, exclusive brands...they are all here.
This product category moves fast so clearance is a frequently visited
space on this website. Scrapbook retailers tend to love our DOT electronic ordering
system because it saves time and because of the many tools available within this website.
Order accuracy, strong fill rates and free freight compliment our ability to land
product in your store faster and with more net margin to your bottom line. Find
everything you need at NMC.
Pure convenience; that’s what the craft category offers independent retailers. Why?

categories. In 2009, we're adding the office products category, expanding beads and
kids crafts as well as start programs with dozens of new suppliers. Watch New
Goods for hundreds of new products every month!
We know what retailers want from their paint programs- no missed sales! Our commitment
to strong fill rate permeates every aspect of the business. Not only that, we can

The print Paint Catalog is full color with color chips on every single shade. All
programs are supported with clear assortment information so building and maintaining
a program is a breeze. Strong, long-standing vendor partnerships with manufacturers

products are added weekly.
