I have a yarn shop that I am closing. All of the yarn that I have is selling for 40% off. Most of my yarn is Red Heart, although I also have Lion, Paton, Caron, Bernat, and Cascases Sierra.

Does anyone know of a good source for free/discounted yarn & knitting supplies for kids to use in a school knitting project? These are destined to become charity items to be donated. Any help much appreciated! Abi

I was wondering- has anybody here used Alpaca yarn to make socks with? I've used a lot of wool, and was wondering if Alpaca had similar qualities, such as being water-repellent and holding in body heat. Would Alpaca wear as well as wool? Has anyone tried it? Thanks! Marie and the cats

Is there a chart anywhere online that gives you examples of which yarns meet a particular gauge? That would be a treat.

Yesterday a friend come over with 8 bags full with yarn. Nearly all of it wool. Her neighbour wanted to clean up and was not knitting any mor. Aud thought I might like it. It was just wonderful. All the same, I have so much yarn stock already that I was overwelmed by it as well. At night I...

A Wal-Mart flyer arrived in the newspaper yesterday. They had a whole page of Bernat yarns with some good prices.

Is there an easy way to figure out what weight yarn you get if you double or triple (or more) it? For example, I have some acrylic stash from many years ago. They call the yarn "sportweight" with a gauge of 6 sts & 7 rows = 1 inch on size 5 US needles. If I double (or even triple) this yarn,...
