Start with the decision you need to make
Each guide owns a distinct task, so buyers can move from material evaluation to ordering without reading the same advice on several pages.
Choose rug hooking tools
Check how hooks, wool strips, backing, frames, cutters and replacement parts work together.
Evaluate rug hooking kits
Audit included components, instructions, material allowances, class suitability and replacement stock.
Buy wool appliqué materials
Review templates, wool cutting, thread, stabilizers, fusibles, notions and kit formats.
Build a pattern range
Plan themes, sizes, formats, skill levels, licensing, class use and seasonal release timing.
Research suppliers
Use review-dated links to official fiber art business websites, then verify current terms directly.
New guide
Importing fiber art supplies into the United States
Build a product specification, compare export-ready suppliers, estimate landed cost and inspect a pilot order. The guide includes a transparent hypothetical cost example and links to current CBP, USITC and FTC resources.
Wholesale workflow
Keep supplier discovery, due diligence and ongoing management separate. Each step needs different evidence.
Vet the supplier
Score fit, request samples, clarify written terms, check capacity and define a pilot-order decision gate.
Estimate the import
Describe and classify each item, request documents and model freight, fees, duties and handling.
Manage reorders
Maintain product data, dye-lot notes, issue logs, substitutions, version history and review dates.
