North American Yarn

On another note!  I've been accumulating yarn from Canada and US which I'm hoping to sell.  My favorite in-expensive yarn is Bernat. Most of the ones I use are 100% acrylic which makes them machine was & dryable. I've been using this yarn for years and years.


Many people have also heard of Red Heart. I have used this most of my knitting/crocheting life as well.  It is the same weight and similar colourways to Bernat however not always as soft. It's great for blankets and hats but I'm a little on the fence about jumpers.  However! Many people love it and it costs slightly less than Bernat.

NOW, before you cringe and say "ewwww....acrylic!!"  You've never enjoyed Bernat.  I took some to the knitting group I visit and they were all against it. After venturing to the yarn shops and getting a taste of cheap UK acrylic, I understood their hesitations.  However, being the enabler that I am, I'm happy to say that I have converted them into loving my Bernat yarn just as much as I do.

I'm going to be listing some on Etsy soon however for now I have it on my Ravelry page under TLDonnelly (just click my name and it'll take you right to it!)

Please feel free to leave comments about your favorite yarns and colours.  I'm always looking for inspiration as to what to bring that others might be interested in.
