Knit Picks!

For those of you who are truly in need of information on where to get the good stuff (and I mean, the good stuff for knitting) I have some great websites to offer to you to save pennies (or maybe spend more pennies!)

Here we go:

• www.fabulousyarn.com

(they are probably the best shippers by far that I have experienced in my internet shopping for yarns. They have the best deals for bulks of yarn that are prohibitively expensive to buy in bulk in New York or other locations).

• www.joann.com (I have bought a lot of acrylic and funky yarn from them...always during sale times, because you can buy some really cool funky yarn for very decent prices)--but, I always check between them and Herschnerrs for prices on certain brands.
  

• Herschnerrs www.herrschners.com and I check out their sale yarn (especially on Moda Dea). Great about shipping--never had a single problem!

• www.angelyarns.com --I ordered Kid Mohair sublime from their company. They were very good about keeping in touch with me and I ended up saving a good deal of money ($20-30, which is nothing to snooze about!) and the savings included the shipping cost from England. I am making a large project which requires several balls and although it did take around 3 weeks, they kept me up to date on where the yarn was in the queue. Also, they ship patterns very quickly (you can get individual sublime patterns, versus having to buy the book from yarn shops).

New discoveries (not yet ordered from, but have good information and seem to have good prices):

• www.elann.com (they carry some sale items on Gedifra, which is very very difficult to find period, not to mention at their prices).
• http://www.knitpicks.com/
• http://kyarns.com

Now, I have to find a good distributor of knitting needles for my Argentine friends!
