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

Wed Feb 1 21:00:42 UTC 2012

I just have to tell you that Pattern works store is in Center Harbor New  
Hampshire and it is right next to Keepsake Quilting.  I missed last year,  
but usually my girl friend and I make a weekend trip up to visit those 2 
places  in the Spring.  I have to tell you it is a wonderful trip and we both 
come  back with treasures and lots of projects from both places.  You talk 
about  the pictures of the projects  well it is fabulous wandering  around  this 
large shop and feeling the yarns and touching the sweaters and all  
obviously they take the pictures that are in the catalog or newsletter and then  
display the made items in the shop.  I spend as much in each shop and I  have 
not made it yet into the third shop that is there in the shopping  area.  It 
is a kinda kit and project place.  As I said I have not gone  there, but 
they have needle point, crewel and kits like that there.  I will  have to go 
and check it out for everyone hopefully this Spring.  We found  an Outlet 
Center near the hotel that we stay at.[My daughter gets us  employee  rates for 
the hotel $29 per night][She is assistant manager of a  hotel in CT]  We 
spend the first afternoon there at the outlet  center.  On our way home we 
stop in the New Hampshire Liquor store as they  are a lot cheaper due to less 
taxes on their liquor.

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.
