About Me

 

Terri Reinhart spent 18 years teaching kindergarten at the Denver Waldorf School. She now enjoys spending time making brooms, felting, knitting, bookbinding, painting, and filling up the house with various craft supplies. She is probably the only woman who has ever asked her husband for 50 pounds of broomcorn for her birthday. She also enjoys writing because, as she says, “It helps me to process all the crazy wonderful things in life without screaming or hitting anything.”

Her husband, Chris, is very patient.

Resources for discount wool yarn

When I find a good deal, I like to share it with you all.  As often as possible, I do like to patronize the small knit shops and keep them in business.  However, there are times when I just can't afford good yarn from these shops.  Especially if I have a large project or I am doing something crazy like knitting felted slippers for the entire family.  Then I look at these sites:

www.knitpicks.com  - lots of good wools, sock yarns, and a good assortment of colors.  They also offer free shipping on orders of $50.00 and over.

http://www.thesheepshedstudio.com/ - this site has Brown Sheep yarn and mill ends of wool roving from Brown Sheep, among other things.  I am impressed with their prices!  For those of you who know Brown Sheep yarn, their "Lamb's Pride" yarn, both worsted weight and bulky weight, are only $3.00/skein. 

http://www.paradisefibers.net/Discount-Yarn-mill-ends-s/125.htm - I'm just beginning to look through this one, but it does look promising!

When I find more, I'll keep you posted!!
