***Thank you, everyone, for the great suggestions. I’ve placed my first order with Little Knits and am bookmarking most of the other shops as well!!

Hi there! I’m looking for the best place (online) to start purchasing Malabrigo yarns and wool from. I no longer shop with Webs. Nor will I use Jimmy Beans Wool or Knitpicks since their buyouts and lack of support for the MTI hats. Basicslly, I need a new yarn purveyor.

Large order discounts, sales, or free shipping is nice - but my primary requirements are a fair retail price, LGBTQ & POC inclusive, and not MAGA. Despite searching, I cannot find out for sure if Wool and Company out of Illinois is acceptable or not. Everything I found says the first owner was left leaning, but that the newer owner is right leaning/MAGA. I was also looking at Eat.Sleep.Knit. as an option.

If you have other US suggestions with a good Malabrigo selection, decent prices, and a proper online storefront - please do share! Thanks

I’m a serial re-reader (audiobook re-listener) of Stephen King. Have been since middle school. Odd to think they can be “comfort reads” but here we are, and I always come back to them.

I started Under the Dome a few days ago and boy oh boy have I got a different flavor and perspective from it this time. The atmosphere of rampant corruption at the hands of greedy and grasping men who wear the flag around their shoulders and get kneebound to pray the gospel as they murder, cheat, lie, and steal from the people they claim will benefit in the long run…. I almost can’t take it. The mirroring to what is happening in America on a larger, national scale makes me feel like we’re the ones trapped under the dome. And nobody can even break through to help us from our “clustermug.”

I don’t know if I can finish this cottonpickin book this time around. Or ever again.
