Question re: Cone yarn

[Hook and I]

This will probably sound like a really dumb question to those of you who buy cone yarn all the time but ...

 

Can you get regular worsted weight acrylic on a cone?

 

How about things like baby clouds? Or chunky and bulky acrylics?

 

I've browsed through ebay and saw some amazing chenille on cones - but can you get other more standard types of yarn on a cone?

 

If so - Where would be the best place to buy?

 

Thanks!

sorry to say..

 

I dont know the answers.. i dont buy every day "ordinary" yarn.. i get my stuff from ebay and the best thing i can tell you to do is do a search for what you are looking for .. type in " acrylic cone yarn" or something or that sort..

 

sorry I am not a big help..

i know you can get the cotton yarn on cones. and i think you can with acryilcs too, but not sure,. like beth said do a search and see it it comes up. maybe go to the manufactures site and see how it is sold. wish i could have helped you more:loco vicki

The Spring issue of Crochet Fantasy has an article on coned yarns, with several sources listed.

 

Yeoman Yarns at Aurora Yarn Supply www.yarnups.com

Bonnie Triola Yarns home.earthlink.net/~bonnietriola/

Bramwell and Tamm Yarns at The Knit Knack Shop www.knitknackshop.com

UKI Supreme (lots of cotton yarns) www.supremecorporation.com

Millor Yarn at www.Knitcraft.com

Webs (close-out mill ends) www.yarn.com

 

So, has anyone ever used any of these yarns/vendors? I'd like to find a good mercerized cotton I can substitute for Paton's Grace, and other than what I learned in that article, I'm clueless when it comes to coned yarns.
