[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: Question Re Supplies for Plastic Canvas Class.

Her site is in the last e-mail.  I would get regular, clear.  This way you can use any color yarn and do not have to coordinate it.

You can run a search right on the web site to see what they have.  I'm not sure if they have books/patterns since I wasn't looking for them.  I'm venturing a guess that www.anniesattic.com will have a greater selection of books & patterns for the craft.
