Yarn Shops in Southern Illinois

A friend and I are working on making a list of yarn shops in Southern Illinois. As I wrote before, I'd love to start buying only white yarn and having the children and I dye all of our colors ourselves.

Why I Only Want To Buy White Yarn

BUT I'd also like to support local businesses, so it would be lovely to get the white yarn from them. And that would allow me to learn about classes and other opportunities to be part of the fiber community. So far, here is my list. Let me know if you know of others!

I'm also looking forward to joining Rebecca Desnos's Natural Dye Club in 2024. She has a wealth of practical hands-on experience (even dyes her own clothes and her children's) and her books are wonderful. Rebecca just sent out a coupon code for 50% off the first month of Natural Dye Club. Perfect timing!

Just enter the coupon code FRIENDS at checkout to join for £7.50. You can cancel anytime. This coupon code expires on Saturday Dec 30 at 8pm GMT.
