Favorite on-line stores?

[Paralee]

My area has JoAnn's, Michael's, and Hobby Lobby, but no LYS. So that means I can get all the Red Heart, Caron Ss, Yarn Bee, and Lion Wool that I want (provided I want the colors these stores are carrying), but I can't get many of those fantastic fibers that the LYS's carry. :yarn

 

So I'm wondering how many of you regularly shop online, and what are your favorite stores and yarns? I'm not looking for much, just yarn with a soft hand, good drape, and drop-dead color. Thanks for helping!

I've had good luck w/Herschners

For higher end yarns:

http://www.elann.com

http://www.littleknits.com

 

I've ordered from both of these and always had great service. Always make sure you buy as much as you need for your project, because it probably won't last long enough to buy extra if you need.

There are several stores I use.

Cotton yarns & Thread http://www.elmore-pisgah.com/

Thread and some other yarns http://coatscollection.com/

Large projects http://www.discountyarnsale.com/

When I have no other choice, Herrschners, Joanns or Michaels.

I've also always had good luck with Herrschner's.

 

I also recommend Yarn and Thread by Lisa. She carries Patons, Bernat and Lily and a few other brands. Very quick service, and Lisa was very helpful in answering my questions regarding colors.

 

I second (or third?) ordering Peaches & Creme directly from Elmore-Pisgah.

I second the Yarn and Thread by Lisa Lisa is VERY helpful with answering any questions about yarn color, weight, etc. I have been shopping online with her for atleast 2 years now. :yarn

Wow, Knitter's Review is a fascinating website! I just spent about 45 minutes there reading reviews and following links to various yarn sources. Thanks for posting it!

There is also a web site called SmileysYarns.com I have ordered a few times from them, they have some great internet sales.
