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

Wed Feb 1 21:40:49 UTC 2012

You forgot the sewing machine and fabric, too!  and I got new sneakers  to 
run around with besides Totes from Totes outlet and even smelly stuff from  
Bath and Body outlet.  What a great time we had.  My friend needed a  
shopping cart for her booze  and wine.  I carried my 2 bottles of  Vanilla and 
Rasberry Vokka out the door with me.

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.

http://www.cherrytreehill.com

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.
