would you consider making a list of your favorite online yarn shops/sources? i've been mostly sticking to knit picks and places like that and would like to branch out a bit

of course! i must say i love knitpicks and spent nearly eight years knitting their stuff almost exclusively! though i will say that as i have branched out in the hobby my tastes have gotten more expensive.

one brand i like that is not too far out of the knitpicks price range and is a bit trendier is weareknitters! their the pima cotton and the petite wool have 9000 ravelry projects between them. i made two sweaters in their yarn last winter and really loved them! i also recommend their kits to friends who are interested in learning to knit, they do a great job of teaching you the basics and getting something cute out of it.

other than that, i am lucky to have two local yarn stores that i love and will browse in person from time to time. that gives me a chance to experience the yarn not through a screen, which is immensely helpful if you can swing it. doing that is how i've started to find brands that i love working with and will seek out again. recent ones i've enjoyed, ranked from standard to fancy:

grandma's classic yarn store brands

berocco or paton's: perfect Gift Yarn: sturdy, consistent, easy care

rowan yarns: i made the same tanktop twice in their dk cotton this summer, and i really love their vintage patten magazines which are pretty easy to find online or at used book stores

>$20 skein highbrow picks

malabrigo: really fabulous colors, dense, warm yarns that look great at all gauges

shibuiknits and madelinetosh: fancy fine yarns for perfectionist garments

indie dyers

qing fibre and superglō fiber: two women who are insanely talented with bright colors, mostly pastel and neon respectively. i have yarn from both stashed for projects in my queue.

mezzo.makes: kate is a truly gifted hand-dyer and specializes in cohesive, vibrant color medleys. i bought sweater quantities of the ophelia color from her shakespeare collection for myself as a birthday gift and am really excited to use it!!

All done with my Ronan Cardigan!! It’s huge and beautiful and warm and heavy and oh so snuggly! I have to say I don’t think I would’ve finished it so quickly if not for the #notjustforrhinebeckronan KAL group on #ravelry! Thanks @chloekbenjamin for hosting the KAL! The yarn is Shibuiknits Drift. #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #yarn #knitting #dreareneeknits #cardigan #sweaterweather #shibuiknits https://www.instagram.com/p/BoPwDfzH8m2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1583rzxij7mk4

Next up I’m hitting “Find Your Fade” by @dreareneeknits for a second time . First time around I used really bright colors and skipped the lace. Going softer for spring and putting the lace back in. Love this pattern!! ❤️✨ . . . #findyourfadeshawl #knittersofinstagram #kniting #madelinetosh #shibuiknits #hedgehogfibres
