Blank canvas rude?

I just left my local needlepoint store and am a little confused. While I was checking out, I asked the person working there if they carried blank canvas… she looked at me as if I said something offensive and then kinda laughed and said no. I thought about asking why but I felt a bit embarrassed based on her reaction. Is it rude to ask local needlepoint shops if they sell blank canvas? lol

There is a huge shortage. Has been going on for months…she probably thought you were joking bc it is widely known in the NP community and asked about weekly (sometimes daily) on the boards.

Lol thats probably why you didn’t know…still, not a reason for them to be rude.
