If you love to knit or crochet, then there is a good chance you have an addiction to yarn. Yarn comes in so many beautiful colors and fibers now. But your local Walmart might not have a very good selection. Thankfully, the internet provides those with a yarn addiction an endless supply of the most beautiful and unusual yarns you have ever seen. And many sites offer low prices too! Here are just a few of the best sites to buy yarn online.

They carry lots of brand name yarns that include Bernat, Patons, Lion Brand, Red Heart and more, all at discount prices of up to 75% off retail.
