I'm looking to purchase some wool to make ponchos with. I'd love it if it was undyed, but I'm not too picky. There's nothing in my town except Walmart so I just plain can't buy wool of any kind here. An siggestions are appreciated

So, here's the goofy question-- how do you keep your hair out of your projects? I've been noticing since I let my hair grow that I find strands of it in just about everything I crochet and its driving me nuts. I'm considering a hairnet lol

Do you have a Joannes? They sell Lion's Brand Fishermans Wool there. It's 100% virgin wool. It's not dyed or anything, but you can easily do that with kool aid or something. I think it was $8.99 for a big ol skein, 8oz? Like those huge Red Heart sized ones.

As for the hair in projects, I hear ya! I still pick my hair out of my projects. I think it just comes with the teritory, lol. Maybe try pulling it back or something?

Nearest JoAnn's is 60 miles and we never drive that far-- there's honestly NOTHING here. I guess we'll have to go on a trip (I'm worried about taking our junker that far though lol)

We have a chain of craft stores here called "AC Moore" They sell the big Fisherman's Wool skein for under $6.

Here's a link for the Fisherman's Wool http://pages.lionbrand.com/6030/Inve...1419777/1.html

Another place you can get it for $36 a bag, which is 6 skeins. Saves alot of money this way.

Brown Sheep Company has really nice yarn at pretty affordable prices. Good luck!
