3lilreds in NC Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I have a friend who's going to be visiting the area soon. She's found one YS to visit, but wondered if there were others. Anyone care to name their favorites? Or tell me if there's a way to find yarn shops easily on the internet? Quote

Holly in FL Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I'm not sure what kind of yarn you want...the fiber content...but, I've bought yarn on-line from: http://www.elann.com/ http://www.knitpicks.com/ http://www.discountyarnsale.com/ I've been very happy with my purchases. ~Holly Quote

Holly in FL Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Never mind... I misread your question. You want a brick and mortar store! Duh! ~Holly Quote

Mom2legomaniacs Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Thanks for posting these, Carmen! I am in the Metro area and I just learned to knit two weeks ago!!! You must get on Ravelry! There is a WTM knitters group there. Come and join us! Quote
3lilreds in NC Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 Carmen - you ROCK! Thank you so much for all those shops! I know my friend will get online and research all the ones she can get to most easily. I found a much shorter list online last night - this is really cool. Thanks again!! Quote
3lilreds in NC Posted July 17, 2008 Author Posted July 17, 2008 Go to Ravely dear! I'll go and look with you! I had no idea they had such a cool search function! The saddest thing is that there is a dearth of yarn shops close to me. Sigh. The good news is that I am a FABULOUS online shopper! :lol: Quote
