Help with finding pre printed latch hook canvas

Nope - I don't believe I've seen that. . . however you can work any
cross stitch and/or needlepoint design straight from the chart -
needlepoint is easier - cross stitch you have to made sure it doesn't
contain a ton of partial stitches and no back stitching that matters.

Specialty stitches - *can* be incorporated but may not look good - best
to convert them to 'normal' stitches.

Also Hobby Lobby has had for about 1.5 year, charts specifically for
latch hook and then they started carrying more colors of precut yarn to
go along.

Good luck in your search!

The only company I'm familiar with when it comes to latch hook is
Shillcraft. http://www.shillcraft.com/
I don't see any printed canvas without the yarn on their web site, but I
seem to recall that they used to have them in their catalog. You might want
to contact them and ask. Mostly it seems to be kits and plain canvas, but
not the in-between option, though they do sell bags of yarn for DIY types
and they do say that only their top-sellers are on the web and to contact
them for other stuff like wool versions.
