There are several stores in NYC . One is called Annie & Co. and is on 92 nd and Second and Rita's is at 79 th and Lexington. There is also Ridgewood Needlepoint in Wykoff and other stores in NJ outside of NYC. The other choice is to call Michael's and Hobby Lobby to see if they have DMC embroidery floss

Both The Needleworks in Austin & InStitches in Atlanta carry a wide selection of River Silk. The line is so large that it would be difficult for a shop to carry it all. Happy hunting!
