This year marked the third annual h+h americas trade show and it was the busiest and buzziest yet. For those of you who aren’t familiar, h+h is a wholesale show for the craft industry: yarn crafts like knitting, crochet and embroidery (more on the latter as a “yarn craft” in a bit), as well as fabric and thread crafts like quilting and sewing, though it was light on garment sewing brands.
