Cotton yarn

[SuperMom]

I started a project with cotton yarn for the first time yesterday... I think I'm in love:manyheart:c9:manyheart I'm using peaches & creme that I picked up at Walmart for 1.49 each!! I didn't get the icky feeling between my fingers that I've gotten used to and the stitches actually look neater! PLUS the yarn didn't split near like the acrylic that I'm used to!

 

My only complaint is there were only like 15 colors/ombres to choose from... Is there an online website that has more options? I've found a couple website but they didn't have a very large selection either.

I love love love cotton yarn!

Cotton yarn is my favorite, but you are right...there's not much of a color selection out there. I'm sure there are some online sites to purchase from, but I don't know of any off hand...if you find a good site, please let us all know!

Hobby Lobby has an online site where you can purchase "I Love This Cotton"

I just sent you a pm about the Peaches N Cream web site. As I said, the shipping may be more than you want to pay, but the turn around is fantastic.

I have used the ILTC form Hoppy Lobby, and it is very soft. I personally would not use it for a tote or pot holder.

Hobby Lobby's I Love This Cotton is great. I love working with it. Right now they have shipping of $2.95 on any order. Go to http://www.hobbylobby.com.

We do have a hobby lobby locally - but I think I like the firmness of the Peaches & Creme. Guess I'll check the other Walmarts and see if they have more.

If not, I might be sucking up the $9.99 shipping fee.

 

Wish I knew someone close that crocheted, maybe we could've split shipping.

I just placed an order from http://www.elmore-pisgah.com this morning. The color selection is to die for. Their yarn is 100% American. Yes the shiping is high, but just order enough to make it worth it! I ordered 11 cones (Just got my taxes back or I couldn't have done that) shipping was 14.83 Just a little more than $1 per cone. It should hold me for A LONG TIME. I've ordered from them before; shipping is really fast.

I use to not like cotton when I first started crocheting, now I LOVE IT!

I love the Lion Brand Cotton yarn and buy it at JoAnn's when I get to the big city. Especially if it is on sale! And 30 colors! If I cannot get there I like to buy it online at JoAnn's. The balls are larger and the yarn does not seem to fade as quickly. I also love the Cotton Ease by Lion Brand for special projects. I cannot complain about the great turn around time in the mail for me too.

I went to their web site and the selection was amazing!

Anyone wanna guess where I'm stopping on my way home??? Do you have to have a coupon or is that a sale price?

[SuperMom]

OMG OMG OMG I just realized that Michaels emailed out coupons today for 20 % off YOUR ENTIRE PURCHASE including sale items!!!! That would make these beauitful little babies $.80 each!!!

[WVUAlesha]

They are smaller scanes at Michaels - just FYI. I'm glad I'm not the only cotton addict.

[happily hooked]

I just got back from Michael's. They had Peaches and Cream on sale for $1.00 each, but a couple of the balls I bought were $0.89.

Have you guys ever had a problem with the colors bleeding when you wash it?

[Tampa Doll]

I haven't had any trouble with bleeding, but I wash everything in cold water. I also usually only use PNC, sometimes SNC and once ILTC.
