[Nfb-krafters-korner] FQ: Santa's making his list. What do you want on it?

[Eileen Scrivani]

Well, depending on what kind of yarn or product I am looking for, there are 
several on-line stores I have had very good success with and have been happy 
with quality, service & delivery.  It's important for Santa to know to sign 
up & register with on-line stores where he will be buying his gifts so that 
he always gets the best deals on prices, sales & sometimes even free 
shipping.  I bet delivery costs to the North Pole are pretty pricey these 
days and even Santa has to be cost conscious!

The on-line stores I like are:

1.  Webb's (America's Yarn Store) at www.yarn.com (I think now they even 
have a web site that sells beads & beading supplies).

2.  Knit Picks has great needles & some good yarn selections to as well as 
lots of other stuff:  www.knitpicks.com

3.  Like Lynda said www.Elann.com is also excellent with good prices on 
quality yarns and if you register with them, every time you purchase yarn 
(no matter how long it takes) they accumulate the dollars you spend as 
points and sooner or later you will get a $50 certificate to spend with 
them.  Since they are a Canadian company I have found that shipping costs 
can be pretty expensive.

4.  www.littleknits.com  has some good prices on really good yarn, but they 
seem not to have the full line of color selections on their yarns but their 
prices are excellent.

The Above are all for more of the natural fiber types of yarns and good 
quality needles, if I am looking for less expensive yarns (acrylic) or 
general purpose craft items both of the below old standards seem to always 
come through for me:

5.  www.Herrschners.com   or

6.  www.joann.com
