We received the following e-mail while we were closed today, October 2, 2006:
"We're emailing you to let you know about a new website called Consumer Friendly Yarns. The website's mission is to accurately report the keystone pricing policies of all yarn manufacturers (large and small) and to be a reliable resource for the knitting and crochet communities to refer to before they make yarn purchases. We would love it if you would mention the site on your blog, and please let your readers know that we are looking for volunteers to help compile "the list" of friendly (and unfriendly) yarn manufacturers. We have also started a petition to request that yarn manufacturers world-wide abandon the practice of keystone pricing within the yarn industry and a link to the petition can be found on our site as well.
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or can provide us with any information for the site.
Many thanks!
Consumer Friendly Yarns"
I just reviewed the website and I think these people have done a most remarkable job through researching, publishing and factually disclosing a proven list of price fixing vs. non-price fixing yarn wholesalers and manufactures. Please refer to this site if you have any questions about which yarns are consumer-friendy, and which are overpriced due to the yarn manufacturer's and/or wholesaler's price-fixing policies.
All the best.
