TNNA San Diego, 2009
February 23, 2009 by ClaudiaThe Needleworks Industry seems to be functioning normally in this uncertain economy, if attendance at TNNA is any indication. We were very pleased with the amount of customer traffic at our booth and have plans to increase our space for Columbus in June. No record-breaking sales, but we left with several new customers, four new reps and the feeling that possum is getting popular!
Zealana Yarns include many merino blends, besides very high-quality 100% New Zealand Merino, but the merino possum blends are finally being recognized as the luxury yarns they are, rather than just a novelty. Knitter’s Review picked “Kiwi” as one of the top 5 yarns at the show. They also ran a review of Zealana’s ECO merino Possum (80% Merino 20% Possum), that generated many positive responses from knitters that have tried it.
