Yarn Links?

[pragmatica]

Herrschners weekly yarn sale, usually updated some time on Wednesday, has amazing deals, like Skacel Mohair for $1.97/skein. Their regular prices are full retail but the weekly blowouts are amazing; be warned, though, that you never know what's going to be there and the good stuff goes fast. I've also gotten Skacel Ocean (pretty variegated cotton tape) for $1.97/skein. Also great prices on Jo Sharp, Debbie Bliss, and more. It's the only way I'm getting the high-end yarns.

 

Although for great prices every day on high-end yarns, can't beat Knit Picks.

UK Shops:

 

I would recommend http://www.getknitted.com and http://www.banyantreeyarns.com

 

Get Knitted have a great sale page and give you little gifts in the box with your yarn (pens, lollypops, mini-soap etc). Based in Bristol - also open their warehouse once a month so you can go and see their stuff.

 

Banyan Tree Yarns offer a range of Lion Brand Yarns - great wonderful fast service and since they are in the UK they have already paid the VAT and other import taxes (got side-swiped by this when I ordered from the States directly). I placed an order on a Saturday and got it on the following Tuesday morning. Also they reply to any email enquiries extremely fast! I do love it when you actually get through to a human rather than an automated response...

www.knitpicks.com does cater to knitters but their Wool of the Andes looks great in crochet as do most of their other yarns. plus, their prices are beyond reasonable (i don't know how they make a profit, they just love us enough to give us good yarn prices) and orders always arrive quickly.

If any of you use AZZ cardfile, here's an excellent database to add to your collection.

 

http://www.therunes.net/Yarnshops.azz

 

It's got close to 100 links. I downloaded it from the user submitted cardfiles, so I can't take credit for the wonderful list.

www.hyenacart.com It's a mini-mall type place of loads of WAHM shops. Many have yarns, and especially wool yarns. Awesome handpainted yarns!

I Like to shop an ebay store named whitknits. There specialty is Noro. Nancy has many colors, and is very quick to e-mail an answer to your questions. The box was lightly used, not one that had been shipped ten times over, and the packaging was very neat and clean. I paid, and believe the package was in hand within three days. If I figure out how to add her button, I will do it!!

I have ordered from Little Knits a few times. If you like something there, grab it! Impecable service and super fast delivery.

Hi everyone. I recently picked up a booklet of patterns for handbags at Hobby Lobby. Great bags and they look easy to do! Problem...I can't find the required yarn anywhere (JP Coats Crochet Nylon). I could order it online (joann.com has it), but I am getting impatient and want to get to work right now! Any ideas for a good substitute yarn?

 

Thanks!

I have found the nylon in AC Moore and Michaels here in the NY/NJ area

I love www.discountyarnsale.com . They do have a $30 minimum, but that is easily done. She has almost all of the yarns in bags. 3-10 balls per bag, depending on what yarn. There is quite a large selection of so many yarns I've never heard of. Look at the On Sale link for the great deals.

 

Shhh, she even has Noro on sale!

I Like http://www.patternworks.com as wella s many of the tohers you have already listed. I do enjoy the most is finding new yarns in the differnt places I travel to. I got nice yarn from greece and Italy and Poland has fantastic yarn so cheep.

customwoolenmills.com is a Canadian company that does mail order. They were great to deal with. They also have spinning fibre.

I love Red Heart's "Light & Lofty" and "Baby Clouds" super bulky yarns and just found Mary Maxim has 5 Baby Clouds colors for $2 cheaper than I can buy locally! I just placed an order for 20 skeins, and the shipping was only $9.25!

If these colors will work for you, the price is a steal:

The nearest place I can buy any yarn is 20 miles away so I do most of my shopping over the internet. (Would you believe I live 90 miles from the nearest Wal-mart, 120 miles from the nearest Hobby Lobby???)

I just looked at this site...WOW...but I have a pretty dumb question...how do you use this yarn. it doesnt look like the pull from the center kind...how do you keep it from tangling?

[Nilliem]

You'd have to wind it in a ball before using, to eliminate tangling. I don't know if I have the patience for that right now! hee

[megamomls]

I just thought I'd let everyone know about a great place I found for RH mill end yarns. They are currently uploading their discount yarns & also getting ready to stock other yarns as well. Their prices are great & their service is the best I've ever encountered!!!
