where do you get your yarn and stuff at?  

[Ska Hippie]

For the most part, I get my yarn from Wal Mart ~ though, if I can find anything suitable, I also have my mom's ginormous stash to go through, & i'll be inheriting another huge stash next month (I get first dibs on yard sale stuff!! hehe)  

[hyper_azn_girl]

i get mine from michaels. I'm one of those people who plan ahead and find projects and then buy the yarn. I'm looking for a really good project so i can use the non-cheap yarn.

right now, no projects stand out so i just keep making blankets xD

but its awesome. when i need yarn i can ask two of my friends for some biggrin . their grandmothers are too old to do any crafts and they have TONS of yarn biggrin  

[knitting_needle_ninja]

I go wherever I find the yarn that speaks to me, be it Walmart, JoAnns, Michaels, The Yarn Shop, Knitters mercantile or this little local shop called Jenny's Bead and Yarn.

I mostly use this shop- Halcyon Yarn
But I also like Knitpicks

Halcyon is almost a LYS for me- it's about an hours drive, but when you live in the middle of no where New England, an hours drive is pretty much local. I prefrer the store to the website. If I'm really jonesing for yarn, I'll go to my truly LYS- which is actually a quilting shop, but they have a decent, if not great selection of yarn.

I only go to Michaels, because it's nearby...
My Aunt also has some great yarn which she gives to me on occasion...  

[Mildred Pierce]

I get most of my stuff from Joanne and Michaels, but I have been known to order from KnitPicks.

And it's especially nice now because I just got a KnitPicks catalogue with HUGE discounts on yarn (like--six dollars less per skein thru catalogue).

My mom and I have yet to go to a yarn shop...and I can sadly not drive myself (nor do I have the money myself).  

[Peppermint Elf]

If I need something quick and cheap, I go to A.C. Moore. If I want to invest in a high quality skein of sock yarn, I go to Mission Rose Quiltery. If I want something to dye, I go to Knit Picks. I also do a lot of impulse shopping on Etsy.  

[Fionamule]

Well lets see theres.....the Needle's Eye, The School of Weaving and Spinning in my town and when I visit my mum theres Hill Country Weavers.

Of course I do hit up Hobby Lobby, Michael's and (the ever so rare trip to) WalMart for the cheaper end of the spectrum.  

[augusteir]

i find yarn everywere. t-shirts, fake fur, leather, ribbon, and occasanally real yarn. craft stores are god  

[Brunette_Star]

I'm also a Wally-World (Wal-Mart) buyer. I like AC Moore and Michaels, too.  

[AuroraGoryAlice]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can only afford the cheap stuff. sweatdrop

I really really really want the good stuff, but if I bought the good stuff I wouldn't have a house to live in.  

[~Viva~Per~Amore~]

I go to Joann's and Hancocks for my yarn, but if I see any good yarn inbetween places than I might get it there.
