Like many businesses, the production began in the Kreinik s home until threads took over their living space. Today production continues at a manufacturing facility in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and in 1991 the business offices were moved to Baltimore, Maryland, to provide a more central location. Kreinik s continuing commitment to develop quality threads for stitchers has resulted in an extensive line of metallic threads. The assortment includes Blending Filament, Braids, Ribbons, Cords, Cables, Japan Threads, and Ombre. Kreinik also has a large line of silk threads, including the two newest, Silk Mori and Silk Serica.
Silk offers a lustre and sheen that has been cherished by needleworkers throughout the ages.
The family and staff at Kreinik believe that this is the Glorious Age of Needlework, and never before has thread and needle been so beautiful. As stitchers, we have an abundance of designs, threads, fabrics and techniques before us. With the demands of family, careers, and households, however, leisure time has become precious. Stitching is a creative and relaxing way to spend that leisure time. There have even been studies suggesting that stitching lowers heart rates.
