Shopping for Yarn Gifts & Buying Yarn Online

It's a beautiful saturday up here in the Hudson Valley - and we are gearing up for the holidays - that's right, the HOLIDAYS!

We can already feel the onset of what makes up a wonderful part of our business - people shopping and buying yarn online for themselves, to knit projects for the  holiday, or for knitting gifts for their friends, relatives and employees.

We've had some amazing gift purchases over the years - I remember one which was totally amazing - the CEO of a start-up shopping site in NYC bought all of his employees online yarn gift certificates! 150 of them! That was amazing. Then there was the celebrity knitter who bought everyone in her life gift baskets - 25 of them. That was amazing to put together and ship!

Some have difficulty shopping for yarn online. One of the reasons we started this fabulous yarn.com was that we WANTED to buy yarn online. I, in particular, didn't want to go driving from store to store, finding stores that had some stock, didnt have other stock. I wanted to be able to search for EXACTLY the type of yarn I wanted, and just BUY IT. I wanted it to show up at my door, not have to drag bags home.

Don't be shy - check out our knitting gift pages and see if you can't find something perfect for the knitter in your life. Something to make their jaw drop - we know you will!
