This may be a daft suggestion, but have you tried your local charity shops?
Most of the ones around me have a large basket or box full of part used
balls and cones of yarn - they usually have dozens of knitting needles of
all sizes too - they rarely have them out in the main body of the shop
though, the floor space is more valuable than back-room storage space so
they use it for high value items like cookware, videos, books and clothing.
If you ask they will usually drag out the most incredible stash and let you
sit on the floor and sort through it for ages. (Can you tell I've done this
a lot?!) I rarely buy new needles and found some lovely yarn (once an entire
bag of unused Jaegar in cream!) just by asking nicely at the counter. Does
that help?

A bit of a daft post but I have recently learned patchwork/domino knitting

and
I went hunting for some stash. I KNOW that I have a huge bag full of odd

balls
of yarn in the attic, but can I find it?
I was wondering if anyone knows of a site where you can just buy bits and

bobs
of yarn, a bit like some of the cross stitch sites that send you stash

every
month.
