While I prefer to purchase yarn and fiber at my local shops, there are times when I desire a greater selection to choose from. There is absolutely no substitution for wandering up and down the yarn aisles, feeling, smelling, and imagining all the things that can be done with a particular fiber. However, living in a small town (population 350) has it's limitations. So, I've decided to keep a running list of my favorite yarn and fiber sources. If you have any to add, please post a comment. Thanks!

If you're ever near Chicago, TLD Designs Studio is run by fiber artist, Tammy Deck, and you'd probably love it. I take lampwork classes there and while I do not work with fiber, she has an enormous selection of yarn and fiber there, a real visual feast!
