I hate having these kinds of dilemmas...

As those of you who've paid attention before know, I am in lust with many of the yarns at Near Sea Naturals - they have organic animal & plant based yarns - bamboo, merino, cotton, "banana silk", hemp - really lovely , reasonably priced, and a format of materials that calls to my wanna-be-hippy side.

Here's the issue.

They're based in New Mexio.

The W-B-H in me goes "gah - surely you can find higher-minded yarns closer to you.

You'd think that.

*sigh*

Most yarn stores - not so much. I am usually doing well if I can find them carrying something that isn't just plastic yarn and is actually a natural fibre. Then asking for ethical fibres means the price triples.

NSN? They have really reasonable prices.

Gah.

Good price, good product, huge shipping issues.

Local, good product, price gouging.

Gah.

I hate making decisions like this.
