Fun and Fiber at TNNA

The weekend of June 7-9, 2008, held the summer trade show of The National Needlearts Association (TNNA), and we were there!  We met wonderful new people and introduced exciting new yarns. 

One of the most interesting people we met was Dr. Linda Williams, who is studying how learning to knit and crochet affects students’ academic skills.  We also spent time with Meredith Kubicki, of Llamajama and Ghost Knitters fame.  We’ve started distributing her 1855 line of 100% merino that’s handspun and naturally dyed.  After seeing all the traffic at her booth, we know she’s going to be one busy lady! 

We’ve introduced a spectacular new feature to our product lines this year:  COLOR! Judith MacKenzie McCuin has overdyed our bison/nylon blend (#4), and it now comes in many eyecatching shades, available exclusively through YarnMarket.com.  Buffboo #13, the bamboo/bison blend, is hand painted by Diana Blair at Going to the Sun; it now comes in two beautiful colorways in addition to the original natural shade. Of course, there was time to visit with old friends like Linda Cortright of Wild Fibers magazine; Sergio Mercado and Fernando Alvarez of Jacque Cartier Clothier; and Carl and Eileen Koop of Bijou Basin Ranch.  We saw lots of our current retail customers and met plenty of new ones. 

Stay tuned here for one more fabulous new product VERY SOON!  

 
Buffalo Gold online shop

Buffalo Gold  is now a “Shopatron.Com” 

branded product manufacturer: 

Not familiar with Shopatron?  Let me explain.

To be fair to the network of recognized retailers and local yarn stores that sell our products, last year  we at Buffalo Gold committed to only selling our products through them…not to sell directly to the public as a retailer.  Yet we keep getting people who want to buy our yarns and products off of our web site.  So, Shopatron solved the problem...  

What is Shopatron?
Shopatron is a nationwide network of branded manufacturers and local retailers. The Shopatron network was developed to allow customers to order products online directly from the manufacturers Web site.

How does it work?
Once you place your order, it is matched to the nearest authorized retailer with the items in stock and shipped within one business day. This system supports local retailers while providing consumers with excellent customer service and prompt shipping.

Why Shop with Shopatron?
When you shop at an online store powered by Shopatron, you are guaranteed to receive authentic merchandise from an authorized retailer.

It’s working for Panasonic, Calloway Golf, Abu Garcia, Lantern Moon, Louet, Classic Elite Yarns, and HeartStrings Fiber Arts …just to name a few.  Check it out for yourself.  It works ... and you don't even know it's there!! 

p.s and while you are at it, check out the stunning beaded buffalo socks Jackie E.S. created just before the Long Beach TNNA show!!  The picture and pattern are on her HeartStrings Fiber Arts site.
