A 'where to buy lovely yarn' resource

[podg]

I thought if we all added links and info, all of our favourite yarn buying places in a single (sticky?) thread would help those (like me) who still end up at Knitworld and thinking there must be something else out there.

Just for reference Grrlshapedyarns isn't up and running at the moment although I'm not sure if it says that on the website.

Another fav of mine is www.oldmaidenaunt.com.

I'm sure there are others too but I just can't think this morning. Actually did someone put up
www.vintagepurls.co.nz
and I second knitsch, it's my new obsession yarn at the moment and they are launching a 12ply at craft2.0.

Oh dear. I can see this thread quite easily becoming my downfall if I'm not careful.

Not bad - especially if you've got the yarn on a big discount. I recently got four balls of Noro Silk Garden for $6us each, shipping was $6.50 for the lot (standard post, arrived in less than a week) so it ended up costing me roughly US$8 for each ball which I was pretty happy about. I had 21 hanks of cascade 220 shipped a few months back and the post was US$29 and arrived in about 3 1/2 weeks - priority shipping would have been much faster but the shipping would have been US$50. I do watch the exchange rate though - my Noro would have been quite a bit cheaper a month ago

Also - they do great discounts on their full priced wool - 20% over $60 I think, and 25% over $100?
