where do u normally buy your yarns?

I tend to find my favourites at Michael's... but lately I've bought quite a bit of hard-to-find yarns off of ebay, there's some good finds sometimes.

 

I am in LOVE with this Henry's attic organic cotton hand spun which i get online or from a lady on ebay. I also like hemp/wool which I get from pickering. I get the other stuff for little ponchos, and other odds and ends at Joann's

 

I just scored at the grocery store...they had Bernat knit and crochet kits on for $5!!

So I bought 2 of them just for the yarn...even better they are in coordinating colours...

 

Michael's or Joann fabrics. If I am in a pinch, Wal-mart. I hate to admit to it.

 

Hey, there's nothing wrong with shoppin' at Wal-Mart... I go there too sometimes for some yarns.

great find

 

where i shop depends upon the type of yarn i'm buying. it i'm buying wool, cashmere or alpaca i hit either the farmer's market or the local fibre mill. if i'm buying man-made fibres i get it either online or leisure world.

 

Zellers for fancy yarn, or the Dollar store for plain yarn.

 

thrift store sweaters, and garage sale having grandma's liquidating their stash.

 

local yarn stores, it seems like this is a knitting mecca, we've got a lot to choose from. and of course, i always check out the yarn at the thrifts. right now i'm on a buying hiatus until i get thru at least part of my stash. i'm on a slipper spree! wheeeeeeeeee.... lol
