Twice a year we have a huge Clearance Sales just in time for new colours and trends to arrive. The Needle & Arts Centre’s business is based on customer service, consultation prior to product purchase, plus free consulting during projects, these are the main reasons why many of our customers consider the Needle & Arts Centre to be one of the best yarn stores in North America.
