Linda, not sure about that but I’m sure there is someone there that is trying to tame their yarn supply. It’s only a matter of finding those people.
Excellent Links!
I only wish I didn’t have to pay shipping and customs to get the yarn into Canada!
I am blessed to live fairly closed to the Spinrite Yarn Factory Outlet in Listowel, Ontario –
Have a great weekend

Rhondda, Yes, international customs can be a bit expensive. Luckily you do have a source of yarn nearby.
