[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cotton yarns

[blindhands at aol.com]

I have a new upcoming project.  I really was looking for this cotton yarn on
cones, but they just don't make all that they carry on cones.  Can you
believe they don't have a neutral tan or off white on a cone?

I am upset as example Joann's has the biggest selection, but no verbal
descriptions of the colors in the yarn.  That is why I started my search to
see if som place else had descriptions of the Lilly sugar & cream yarns.

I did find another place for the Lily yarn.  They have it at fabric.com
  They have a lot of ombers 2 oz balls $1.89 each and free shipping At $35
  They also had the soft ecru color, but not on a cone.

I want to weave with this yarn.

Be careful if you order the Christmas yarn, according to one buyer the red
ran on one that she purchased, even after treating it with vinegar.

Joyce, are you enabling my addiction?  I have more yarn than I know what to
do with right now but I read your post and I am ready to get more.  You
never know when I might need that color.
