One of my favorite yarns - alpaca!
I suggest if you have not knitted or crocheted with Alpaca yarn that you give it a try! Super soft, easy to work with and it has beautiful drape. This particular yarn is a superfine weight (fingering or sock weight) and can be used for a variety of projects, such as baby clothing, blankets, scarves, hats, etc. If you are interested in a different color, fiber, or weight, click the link below and browse my store! We have many different kinds of yarn available! Thank you for looking :)

Beautiful rich violet washcloth and scrubby set
Violet Washcloth and Scrubbies Set
This listing is for a 100% cotton handmade, crocheted wash or dish cloth and 2 nubby scrubbies. Colored a rich violet, the washcloth measures 8" x 8" and the scrubbies measure 5" x 4". They are perfect for everyone in your family, even gentle enough for the little ones in your home. Ideal for bathing, showering, or use them as dish cloths for your kitchen! While they are easy on skin, they are tough on dishes and will not damage Teflon!
Treat yourself or friend to handmade wash cloths. They will last for years to come and even with heavy use, the more you use them the softer they get. The scrubbies have a naturally nubby texture which provides gentle exfoliation. Great as a gift for Christmas, stocking stuffer, baby shower, housewarming, wedding gift, or birthday! These beautiful handcrafted cloths will also save you money. They are eco-friendly, durable, and best of all reusable. Just machine wash and dry with your towel load. Some shrinkage may occur, as with all cottons.
These items are ready to ship. All items come from a non-smoking home. Please remember that colors may vary slightly from your computer screen.

Yarn Basics: Yarn Stores
There are a variety of stores, both
online and offline, that sell yarn and other knitting accessories. In
this article, different types of yarn stores will be discussed,
including major retail chains, local yarn shops (LYS), online
retailers, and the unexpected places.
Retail chains
There are many large retail chains that
either specialize in yarn and crafting supplies, or carry a diverse
amount of them. These are usually multi-state stores such as WalMart,
Joann's Fabrics, Michael's Crafts, A.C. Moore, Hobby Lobby, and Ben Franklin. These stores generally have sales/coupons advertised
online, and specialty coupons sent via email or regular mail if you
sign up for their newsletter. Prices can vary as well as selection.
Most craft stores carry a variety of brand name yarns as well as
accessories such as knitting needles and stitch holders. You can
order online or visit them in their store.
Local yarn shops (LYS)
Local yarn shops are a wonderful way to
get more up close and personal with a range of higher quality yarns.
These shops are generally locally owned and run and can provide a
more intimate purchasing experience. While the yarns can be more
expensive, they are generally more luxuriant and made with much
higher quality materials than you will find in general retail chain
craft stores. These stores also have knitting accessories, some
handmade. These can be harder to find, but check your local telephone
directory for information on these local treasures.
Online retailers
There are too many of these to name,
and many are so amazing! There are the yarn brand websites, such as
Red Heart, Bernat's, Caron, Patons, and Lion Brand. There are also
online versions of local yarn shops such as Ice, Herrschners,
Annie's Attic, Knit Picks, Knitting Warehouse, Smiley's Yarns, WEBS,
and Deramores. There are also a large amount of exceptionally
talented individual retailers who spin and dye their own handpainted
yarns. These you can find by searching such places as Etsy, Ebay,
ArtFire, and Ravelry. A large number of online groups for knitting,
yarn, spinning, and dyeing exist as well. You can search these types
of groups to find individuals who sell yarn.
Unexpected Places
A few places that are unexpected can
often lead to the cheapest yarn! Be sure to check places such as
your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, and other second-hand stores frequently, as
they tend to have large lots or bags of yarn very inexpensively.
Sometimes they will not have labels though, so it can be a grab bag.
Other good places to look for yarn are estate sales, garage sales,
classified ads, and places such as Craigslist for your area.
This is an overview of various places
that yarn can be purchased. The stores listed are merely examples,
and this is not an exhaustive list. Use search engines to your
advantage to find amazing yarns and as always, enjoy!
