If you're into needleworking, then Needlepoint.com is THE place to go in the triangle for you. They have a stunning array of hand-painted canvasses, hand dyed yarns and wools, and an amazing number of kits.
I have bought a large number of tapestry kits from them, and have been pleased. All of their canvasses come with a binding already sewn on them, so you don't have to worry about it while stitching.
Once you're done with the piece, then they have access to some magnificent tailors who will make your masterpiece into finished perfection.
