1. We don't have a yarn store in town, so if I buy locally it's from Michaels, Hancock Fabrics

or someplace else that doesn't specialize in knitting supplies. I buy a lot of my yarn online at http://www.knitting-warehouse.com or http://www.yarn.com

They have a decent selection of basic yarn at decent prices and the shipping is fairly fast and the rates are reasonable.

If I was looking for something really special, I would probably wait til I was near s yarn store so I could actually see/feel what I was buying.
