A canvas appears in a list only when 3 or more stores are involved. - Sell-outs and restocks are counted at tracked stores only; a sell-out reversed within 72 hours is not counted. - New to the directory means added to the directory in the period, not released. - Stock history starts July 8, 2026. - These figures were computed on October 25, 2026. The annual page is recomputed every month while the year runs; each month's figures replace the last. - The current datasets are on the [data page](https://ndlpt.space/data); the method is on the [methodology page](https://ndlpt.space/methodology). ## More reports [All reports](https://ndlpt.space/reports) --- **Cite this page:** Needlepoint Design Space, "State of Needlepoint 2026", (updated October 26, 2026).
