I have been on the look of good quality yarns. Not actually cheap, but preferably different. something i don’t usually see off the bookshelves of National Bookstores.

So if you are me, what do you do? First person (or persona) to ask is [of course], our dear ol Google friend. And a lot of searches would actually point you to ebay. But since, we are in the Philippines, let me tour you to a lot of yarn destinations me and fellow crocheters do love to go to. You have a wide range to choose from, organic to synthetic, from solid colors to variegated ones, and your only limit is your budget.

The Hangar Market [Baguio City]

Hangar Market Baguio City - Up the Stairs

You have probably read about baguio yarns over and over again on this blog and on my previous blog here. Well, of course. I am a big fan of yarns from baguio. But it has been a long time since I last visited that place, and i could only hope for dear friends to buy me yarns from there. It is still not the same when you are the one looking for yarns. How much good my friends are for buying me yarns from this market, they can’t still find me the kind of yarns i used to buy from there. I had cottons of different yarn weights, now when i ask my friends to buy me yarns from there, I always receive the same kind of acrylic yarn. It’s not that I am not grateful, i just wish i could be back there, doing the yarn hoarding

Bodega ng Sinulid [Rosario Pasig]

Yup! It’s just a street lined up with Garage-like stalls filled with, what else? threads and yarns. A lot of Metro crocheters have already been visiting this road over the years.

Yarns from Rosario, Pasig

Here, let me share you what iheartcrochet thinks about Rosario, Pasig:

I just love this store. Every time I go there, I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by how much yarn there is in that store. I want to buy a lot but I know I couldn’t carry too much alone and I couldn’t use up all of that.

Beadahh.multiply.com [Online]

Yes, believe it or not, there are already people who recognizes our yearning for yarns. A good friend of mine owns this multiply shop called beadahh.multiply.com who emerge from selling beading materials to yarn addiction provider.

Look at some of the yarns she offers at relatively cheap price!

The multiply shop owner also sells Monaco mercerized colors at a very low price. I think if the colors are not available in her shop you could go and ask her for them. Maybe you could even provide the color number

Ebay.com [Online]

I always browse ebay hoping for some bargains . It’s really my vice to go online looking for cheap yans to buy. If you have friends abroad that could do the buying for you and you have the patience for them to go back here in the country, that’d be better. I usually do that.

Craftandme.com [Online]

I buy in bulk from this online store. Something that could last me for half a year or so. Their yarns are best for clothes, mind you. I love their soft cotton yarns

Craft and Me

The yarns are not costly but the shipping for them is. So if you are going to buy from them, i suggest you buy everything you can and indulge yourself for a year or so. I could buy as much as five kilograms of soft cotton yarns from this shop and i could easily get a good ROI from the clothes i crocheted using Craftandme’s soft cotton yarns.

So there they are. Enjoy and be happy.
