How can I find the yarn I'm looking for locally?
Using the search bar at the top right hand corner of this website (or below this paragraph) you can enter the brand of the item you're looking for. I've created a VY Page for each local yarn shop which includes a list many of the yarn brands they carry. Our search engine will narrow down the shops for you according to the brand you've specified.
At the search results page choose 'Pages' (on the left) to exclude blog posts from the search results.
