    WOOL WAREHOUSE is tops in my book. I have been able to order hard to find pieces to augment my Tulip Travel C interchangeable knitting needle set at reasonable prices. That was my start point and then I began ordering yarn because it was well priced yarn with VERY reasonable and quick shipping to me in Boston. I recently ordered from Knit Picks only because of their sale and may have been free ship too. I had very bad experiences with online Joanne’s. It took 2X’s in my earlier knitting days before I swore off even shopping in their stores. During covid I discovered a great LYS that ships/delivers including great clearance discounts so that is my first shop solution to keep business local. Great video

    I moved from New England where I had 3 wool shops nearby, to SW and due to covid closing the only wool shop nearby, i had to start ordering online, taking the joy out of seeing and touching fiber. I knit Aran designs and fair isle, so I'm not into acrylic as it just doesn't look and feel right for traditional designs. Must be the time consuming nature of those projects, but wool is it for me. There is a co-op nearby (1hr) that i get to visit once or twice a year so Wool & Company out of IL is my go to online wool shop! I love Berrocco as my value wool and Madelinetosh and Malabrigo for special projects. They are always in stock, free ball winding and shipping! I've also used Jimmy Beans in NV if i need a certain wool not in stock at Wool & Company. Edit: I have used Wool of the Andes from Knitpicks but its a bit scratchier than i care for.

    Another wonderful video, TY Shannon! Your gentle, sensible & kind presence is so comforting to me 🥰 I enjoyed hearing your take on all these companies. The only one I haven’t tried from your top 4 list is KnitPicks. I think your videos have helped me be more discerning and avoid the huge temptation to shop for yarn when I see haul videos etc. I have developed quite a stash (which isn’t outrageous in and of itself, but it is too big for my small space… ) So I am determined to work through it + I am also going to be gifting some of it. I’m sure from time to time, I may need something specific. (I will definitely be trying Wool warehouse, I would like to make my Sophie‘s universe using, one of those UK DK yarns!) Thanks again dear ✌️

    I learned about Herrschners back in the '70 when I moved from Puerto Rico, where i grew up, to Massachusetts. Bought from them, loved them. Then I moved to New York where I could get every yarn and thread in person. Now back in Puerto Rico, in my 70's, remembered Herrschners, found them online, and the magic continues. I mostly buy cotton threads and yarns. I find acrylic to hot for Puerto Rico. (I've heard nice things about Joann's. Let see if they ship to Puerto Rico. Michael's doesn't.) 😂😊

    I really like the color of yarn used for your hat. I dicovered Herrshnerrs years ago and the are a great source for yarn. Mary Maxim and Premier Yarns are also great online yarn retailers for affordable yarns - and Premier's weekly yarn deals can be awesome. Unfortunately, they don't have shipping deals that often. For more premium yarns, Webs and Fab yarns have both worked well for me.

    @@ShannonTalksYarn When I order from Premier yarn I usually am buying afghan quantities of the Anti-Pilling yarn, so I hit the $75 threshold for free shipping. After I put in the planned order, if I am close to the $75 I will add a new yarn or 2 that I haven't experienced to put the order past the threshold. And they do have reduced shipping a few times a year. Also, they choose one or two yarns a month with 25-50% off value bags of 2 or 3 skeins. I recently got the Everyday Anti-Pilling Batik for $10 per 3 pack and the savings more than covered the cost of the shipping, to the point that I still saved 20% off normal price.

    Great video with lots of useful info. I agree about Herrschners. I can't believe how many colors they have. Your hat and top look perfect on you. Great colors for your skin tone. I would guess your top is cranberry. I don't know how they got pink for cranberry. I have also ordered from ICE yarns. I bought some really pretty variegated that was on clearance. Even with the higher shipping it came out to be a very low price per yard. It only took 4 days to get to my front door all the way from Turkey. JoAnn usually takes 2 weeks no matter what I order. The catch is you have to order a certain quantity that is prepackaged. Lets say it comes 4 skeins in a pack, but I need 5. I would have to buy 2 packs totaling 8 skeins. So it could be more costly if you don't have a project that takes the same amount of yardage that a pack contains.

And the fact that it's cheaper than red heart Super Saver and big twist, it's such an unbelievable quality, cannot be beat. Red Heart isn't real soft, and big twist gets very fuzzy and it splits, you can feel that it's cheap

    Wool Warehouse looks interesting - I like watching Retro Claude who is in England so she orders from there sometimes… neat to hear the shipping is good for North America also 👀

    Knit Picks all the way! I never buy from them except during their big sales (one of which was just last week). They have a day where they mark certain types of yarn down to $2 or $4 each and I majorly stock up when they do that. Their yarns are beautiful quality and when you can get it for such a great price, its a no brainer for me. I generally don't buy yarn elsewhere and just save my money for the knit picks sales lol.

    I just came across your channel and really enjoy your recommendations and/or lists. Through many trial and errors over the years I have picked up far too many skeins/hanks of yarn. I have way too much yarn but still have that craving for just one more skein. I thank you for this list and agree with the value you’ve put on the list. I’ll just let my son spoil me those $30 hanks he brings me now and again, lol. By the way, do you know anything about these online clearances for JOANN’s that keep popping up. There is so many of them I’m actually afraid it’s some sort of hoax. Being a granny on a fixed income I need to be careful. I look forward to seeing more of your channel. Take care and may god bless you.

    Thank you for your support! And can I say, how awesome your son knows exactly how to spoil you!!! Yes, I believe you are right and the ads for Joann are a scam. I know my Joann usually does a big in store clearance this time of year but I have seen those ads and they seem a little to good to be true. As far as I know, even tho some stores have closed, they haven’t liquidated any merchandise to third parties. Thanks again for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it!

    In what world is "cranberry" pink? Who named that one? lol. My #1 is Wool Warehouse, 99% of the yarn I buy is from them. Occasionally, I order from JoAnn or Premier. I happened upon the Herrshcnerrs warehouse sale once on the way to a wedding, it was amazing. I don't order from them online. I had an order, over $200 (!) and it was lost in shipping, they refused to replace or refund my money. I was pretty pissed and swore never again.

    How long ago was it that we were worried about JoAnn going out of business? Well, maybe you weren't worried... Anyhow, does it seem to you that they've closed warehouses and heavily stocked stores, so that's why orders are coming from everywhere?

    I think the shipping is running about the same as always where they ship out from stores. I do feel bad for people who had their Joann store close but it looks like those stores were in areas where there were multiple Joann’s. All I know is I’m thankful “my store” stayed open!!! But there’s only a couple in my state….
