My wife and I visit wool festivals and crafts fairs in NY and wherever we travel, and some of these have great opportunities for acquiring great yarn. It's a big plus being able to see it and touch it, as I'm sure you know.

She tends to stock up when good deals come up.

WEBS online has a great selection of all sorts of yarn and frequent sales.
