[Nfb-krafters-korner] online sites for purchasing yarn

[River Woman]

My favorite place to buy yarn on-line is
http://www.elann.com
They carry really good yarns that are discontinued so you can get amazing 
deals. They carry anything else you might need for knitting/crocheting, too. 
I love the FREE PATTERNS you can get there as well. I have bought a lot from 
this source, and it is in Canada.

http://patternworks.com
Another really good resource for patterns and yarns. You can get a FREE 
catalogue in the mail from this place, too, as well as shopping on line. 
One thing I like about patternworks is that they show you a particular item, 
made up from one of the yarns so you can see how that yarn will look in a 
particular pattern. You can buy the pattern, or pattern book, and order your 
yarn at the same time. Each photo of an item tells you if the pattern is 
WRITTEN...which is good to know since I cannot DEAL with CHARTS at all...I 
have to HEAR the instructions.

A favorite place to buy hand dyed and hand spun yarns, for me, is Cherry 
Tree Hill in Vermont. Amazing colors, textures, and really really NICE 
yarns.

And finally, I love the onle below that is:
http://www.yarnmarket.com
They sell very superior yarns, and carry so many different brands you can 
find almost anything you would want.  I have never been disappointed with 
the yarns I have purchased from this site.

My latest issue from Pattern Works just arrived and oh, my, the lovely 
things there...I have just picked out a nice pattern for a Palladio Pattern 
featured on the front cover - have to make it to wear on my trip to Puerto 
Rico in April. I always knit something wonderful to wear  when I am 
traveling - gives me a goal and a deadline.  I will call and order the yearn 
and the pattern.
