Where to find cheap yarn?
For cost-conscious crafters, opting for inexpensive acrylic yarn from your local craft warehouse is a viable choice where longevity, durability, or ease of maintenance are not key considerations, such as for toys or trinkets.
While working with craft store yarn can be a straining in the long term, but for smaller, less demanding projects, it can be a practical and cost-effective choice. For example, when creating adorable stuffed animals there is no reason to splurge on premium materials such as mohair or cashmere.

Having searched high and low for years for the perfect price-to-value ratio, we decided to start importing Sandnes Garn of Norway.

Sandnes Garn alone offers over 35 qualities of yarn (with 40+ colors each) ranging from lace weight Silk Mohair to chunky Fritidsgarn (not to mention their wicked popular collaboration with PetiteKnit: Sunday).

If you want to splurge some more on your special project, German made LAMANA, offers unparalleled luxury for the price.They have a unique spinning process that makes their yarns half the weight of “normal” yarns, allowing you to make lightwaight garments of chunky yarn! Our staff can’t stop squishing those balls of yarn and fantasizing about their next project! If you are looking for higher-end, extra chunky yarn, Malabrigo remains a knitter’s favorite, and one of our most popular offerings.
Indie-dye yarn
Finally, when they want something really unique, yarn connoisseurs often gravitate to hand-dyed yarn (also known as indie-dyer yarn). We offer a selection of hand-dye from local dyers as well as international artisans.
Choice is yours
In the realm of yarn and crafting, the decision of which type of yarn to choose ultimately lies with you, the creator. However, it is important to note that higher quality yarns often come with added benefits. These yarns boast enhanced durability, vibrant colors, and intricate textures, resulting in a finished project that is not only more beautiful, but also more unique. Furthermore, these yarns offer improved stitch definition, lending a more professional touch to your finished creation. Ultimately, investing in high-quality yarn is an investment in your own artistry and craftsmanship.
