care to post GOOD online sources for yarn?
I'm always looking for places that have fingering yarn (lots of sock making) and I'm a certified colour junkie. I love hand-dyed yarns to play with. Anyone want to post a favorite site?

1. Knitpicks.com
Lots of yarns, including a whole line of 'bare' yarns (in all sizes), dyes and instructions on how to do your own coloring. Even the instructions (free) for doing Kool-Aid dying.

2. Here are some of my faves:
Webs http://yarn.com (hit their sale section--good deals there)

Elann http://elann.com (good yarn line of their own for great prices)

Etsy http://etsy.com (all handcrafts there, and there are many hand-dyers with their own yarns there)

If you hang out on the Knitty.com messageboards, you'll find many more. We're horrible enablers over there. ;)
