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

[River Woman]

I do not know for sure about the written and/or charted...I am looking ONLY 
for written. I cannot DEAL with those da** charts. I could do it, I know 
how, but I do not want to bother with it. I put the directions on my 
milestone and I listen to the directions as I need them, when I am knitting. 
It is much easier for me this way.

I think I am going to order the pattern on the front of the new patternworks 
brochure I got last week. I have a dark Navy tiered skirt I have not worn 
yet, and think this top would be nice with that skirt. I think I will call 
their customer service to place my order so I can ask questions about that 
yarn. My daughter says she does not like how that yarn looks...so I need to 
get the scoop on it from the person there who can tell me how it looks and 
feels in person. The polyester in it makes me nervous - never used it before 
with cotton yarn.

Today, I am working on a fuzzy wuzzy hat - a strand of Homespun, with a 
strand of a fun fur yarn that has blobs all through it...it is looking 
really NICE. I read a book as I knit so it goes fast for me - killing two 
birds with one stone...lol

>> My favorite place to buy yarn on-line is
>> http://www.elann.com
>> They carry really good yarns that are discontinued so you can

>> 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.
