The Yarn Purshasing Association of 1998
A Danish yarn purchasing association has been founded by a group of Danish textile designers. The first general meeting took place in Copenhagen, at Gammel Dok Pakhus, on March 27, 1998, and since October 1998 members have been able to buy yarns through the Association.
The Yarn Purchasing Association is aimed at textile designers, craftspersons, textile artists, and institutions offering textile courses. It buys quality yarns which is impossible to get hold of in the Danish retail trade and distributes these to the members of the Association.
It is the purpose of the Association to give members an influence on the selection of textile materials available for unique works and for industrial product development.
The aim is thus to improve the foundation on which textile art and design may be created. Members are therefore most welcome to suggest which yarns should be available for sale through the Association. It is not the purpose of the Association to distribute yarns which are already available in the retail trade in Denmark.
Members receive yarn sample cards and information from the Association. Members have the right to buy the Associations yarns and the possibility of suggesting which new yarns the Association should sell. A member has the right to vote in the general meeting, including elections for the committee, which is in charge of the purchase of yarns for the Association, and may be elected to the committee.
Further, there will be an annual subscription to be paid by all members. The size of this shall be decided by the general meeting
The Association also accepts members who live outside Denmark.
