Where do you find your wool yarn in store

sommerrayne

I'm wanting to go out looking at different colors of wool today but where can I find it in store? Michaels? JoAnn's? Are there any national chains that carry it?

Any suggestions?

Michaels and Joanns both have them where I am, and the Joanns is just a rinky dinky one.

a local yarn shop will have really nice stuff!

i've found it at Michael's and Joann's.  I like Patton's and I've found that mainly at Michael's.

Michaels and Joann's have it.  It just depends on how big they are for selection.  And a local yarn store if you have one will have pretty stuff as well.

I can't afford my local store though so I don't go too often because I want to buy.

 

ETA: If you don't find enough colors you can get the natural colored wool and dye it yourself.  I have done that and plan on doing that for all the wool I just bought for soakers.

By the way....

I just recently realized that the yarn I made DD's first soaker out of (the bright orange Elann Peruvian Highland wool) is only $2.38 a skein online!!  and it comes in mad good colors.  That means that although I got the yarn in a trade, the soaker would still have cost less than $5!!  So now I want to order A LOT more.  It's elann.com.

That's WAY cheaper than Joann's or Michael's, even with their typical 40% coupon.
