Most of my knitting is charity knitting. I do try to knit a few scarves and socks for family every year though. I knit woolen sweaters for 'cold kids', these have been shipped as far as Russia or as close as US Indian Reservations. We also have a prayer shawl group at our church. I have purged my stash pretty well, so now looking for some projects that take less than 200 yards of pretty yarn.
Yes, it is hard to find wool in SC.

Welcome to the forum from someone else in SC. It is really difficult to find yarn in our state but we always have the internet. Where in SC are you?

I'm also in SC, the North Myrtle Beach area, and am new to this forum as well

I will be in the Myrtle Beach area next week (Sunset Beach). Where do you buy your yarn? I love to check out the LYS in the area.

So you won't be far from me

We have two "dedicated" yarn shops, one in North Myrtle Beach (Knitting Up a Storm) and one in Myrtle Beach, the Carolina Forest area (Knit'nPurl). I think the prices are way high in the NMB shop! and I like the atmosphere of the other shop.

There is also a wonderful shop in Southport, NC called Angelwings. It's kind of "on the way" to Wilmington, with only a couple of turns off Hwy 17. Well worth the drive altho their prices are on the high end as well. But they carry some wonderful yarns and an extensive collection of patterns.
