Cotton Yarn?

No, I don't work with cotton yarn. I do know though that Hobby Lobby has aisles upon asiles of different types of yarns. If I would suggest anything, I would suggest checking with them. And since you said, you have coupons for there anyways, if they don't have what you looking for, you can make a good deal on something else.

I use cotton yarn for dishcloths, hand towels for the kitchen and facecloths. Unless you buy a specialty yarn, most cotton yarn is very limited in colors - white or off white for the most part. Sugar'n'Cream has the variegated colors, but as you said, having to buy so many balls makes is rather expensive. Lion's Brand yarn has some cotton with a couple more solid colors, but none of it's cheap. Have you thought about dying your own?

I have not had to purchase yarn for many years now. A few of the moms and grandmothers of our girls in our girl scout troop donated their left overs. It was amazing how much was donated when we told people we were needing some yarn. The girls have used a great deal of the yarn over the past 10 years for their crafts. Every time we start to get low on our supply, another mom donates some more.

Hi ya! I recently went to A.C. Moore for the first time for me. It is not that near, but closer than any Walmart would be (which I've never been to; too far away). And I loved it. Great prices, and big variety. I bought cotton baby yarn, since that's waht i am working on now (a baby blanket). Otherwise, I have gone to Jo-Ann's and Michael's, which have plenty of yarn. My last choice, but the only very nearby place is a local in-town general Ben Franklin's store. Everything is about $2 more for a skein than it is in any of the previously mentioned rolls. But since I ran out of pink, I may just go there soon to get one more roll.

I had crocheted a bunch of neck scarves with hoods for my female family members one year. I couldn't find a pattern so I 'tried' to make one up. The yarn I got was cotton yarn and I think it was from Walmart. Either that or Jo-Ann or something. I made the scarves WAY too long (which I had to buy tons of yarn to do!), I didn't get the pattern right because there was a point on top that looked ridiculous. They were heavy, bulky, scratchy, and an absolute flop. I think I'll do some research on yarn, I seem to remember some company that was bragging about the natural methods they used for dying their yarn and I remember really liking the colors, and the yarn was very fine. If I come up with anything I guess I'll come back here and post it. Anyway, both Jo-Ann and Hobby Lobby are pretty well-stocked. I was working with the remainder of a bolt of very unusual green satin fabric and matched it with thread EXACTLY at Jo-Ann.

I accompanied my hubby's aunt to A.C. Moore and Michaels yesterday. They got a lot of stock of yarns but I don't know if they got what you wanted. I was more interested in the painting books though, that's way I wasn't paying attention. DO you have that stores there?

I have never worked with cotton yarn. I saw some at Hobby Lobby recently. You might want to check them out. You can probably check Ebay out also.
