How can I find the yarn I'm looking for?

Using the search bar at the bottom of the website 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 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 chose 'Pages' (on the left) to exclude blog posts from the search results.
