Favourite Yarns

Yarns (scroll down to source other crafty enablers, and other free pattern sources)

When somebody I don't know already sees me knitting and asks about it, the next question is almost always "Where do you buy your yarn?"  Well, after a few years of experimenting, I've settled on a few superfavourite places.  Here they are!

Biscotte & Cie

Knitterly Things (aka Vesper Sock)

Midnight Sheep

Stoddart Family Farm

Toots LeBlanc & Co.

Twisted Fiber Art



Tools and Other Supplies

Sometimes it's online retailers to the rescue, when you can't find your 3mm round needles.

I buy all my Addi needles from The Addi Needle Shop - love their superfast shipping!

And you can get practically anything else for any needlecraft from N. Jefferson Ltd., here in Canada.



Enablers

There are sooo many great craft sites on the web.  Here are some of my go-to favourites:

Craftsy

Craftster

Ravelry

The Daily Knitter

Interweave Knits

Vogue Knitting

Knitty

Knitter's Review

Knitmap (this gem will find the nearest yarn store, wherever you are!)
