Where can I buy knitting yarn mill ends by the pound. Aunt Marys yarn is out of business, and I need a place?

Answer 1

A quick Yahoo! search turned up a couple websites:

http://www.homesteadweaver.com/millends.htm

http://www.oldmillyarn.com/

Also, I'd suggest taking a look at ebay. I buy and sell yarn there quite a bit, and it can be an excellent resource for hard to find yarns at a reasonable or discounted price!

Answer 2

Besides categorizing yarn left-overs in zip lock bags by color and type of yarn (you don't want to store wool with acrylics), and using the three ring binders with plastic sheet protectors for computer patterns or patterns I've cut out of magazines I no longer want, I also use some plastic holders to put my paperback books and leaflets in the binders. Annie's Attic has some in their last catalog. They slip over the pages of your book to the center and have a three hole punch on them to hook them into the binder. If you use the view binders, you can make decorative binder spines and covers for your categories of patterns. I also use the hard plastic magazine holders that you find in office supply stores and categorize patterns and pattern books by crochet, knit, cross-stitch, etc. You can also make these by taking a cereal box and cutting it on two sides diagonally and then covering with contact paper, fabric or whatever, but the hard plastic ones are cheap and come in lots of colors. If floor space for shelves to store the magazine holders is a problem, put some shelves up higher, around each wall to store them. It really helps keep them organized. I have 60 gallon plastic tubs for skeins of yarn, but cubicles would be more ideal if you have the space in a closet. Another room or two for yarn, crafts and sewing would be ideal!! =)
