I need to get some yarn for a blanket that I am making for my friend who is due in July. I don't particularly care for yarn browsing with 5 kids in tow, so what are your favorite online yarn shops?

Thanks

Try their cotton chenille for baby blankets.

They are one of the few places that I've found that sells yarn by the cone. So much cheaper!

oooohhhh, you're right. That's nice stuff. Thanks for the heads-up!

Well, I found some at an online discount yarn shop and they are backordered on that particular yarn for WEEKS

I am going to have to brave the local yarn shop, I think. I need to get knitting this blanket!

I was looking for Plymouth Fantasy Naturale 100% cotton and the price differences are amazing. My LYS sells for $6.50 and I think it's a RIP-OFF!

Morwenna,
Did you try yarnware? It's $4.49 a skein before shipping. Here is a link to that yarn on their site: http://www.yarnware.com/Web/Yarnware...N?OpenDocument

Thank you! That's really funny--I just bought some from yarnware last night! I will have to knit like the wind to get this blanket done in time

but I can do it!!!
