Bit of history...
Founded by Charles Buie Jr in Laurinburg North Carolina, Charles Craft Inc grew to become one of the premier domestic giants of the American textile and needle craft industry throughout the late 20th century - During the cross stitch boom of the late 80s and 90s, Charles Craft introduced their E-Z Care Trevira/Viscose blend to crafters as an alternative to traditional stiff cotton blanks. It was a big hit and this specific 1997 run represents the peak era of Charles Crafts domestic US manufacturing before global makrets shited in the 2000.
I have two sealed Charles Crafts Kits - Be perfect for matching blankets - This lends itself to Cottagecore and Granny Chic. Great project for the winter months!
