[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Buying yarn online

[marianne at denningweb.com]

I want to thank everyone for suggestions. I wanted to do this without
sighted assistance but I used AIRA to do it. I found some yarn that is 15%
alpaca and 85% acrylic. My agent also helped me pick out some yarn for
Dixie's latest dishcloth. The name is dark pine and I think it will work
very well for the March dishcloth.

Lion Brand Yarn also gives colors. The cabeat is that you have to go add all
of the nonsensical link names to your cart, then go through and remove the
colors you do not want. It works, just a bit kluggy.
