Purchasing Japanese Knitting Yarns
Denise, from the Knitting Beyond Hebrides List, sent me the following information:
"I recently found an online knitting site called AmiAmi which imports Japanese knitting yarn into North America through Canada. (They have a Japanese site as well).
http://www.ami-itoya.com/ca/index.html
I just received a free set of sample cards (quite extensive). When I looked through them, I thought some of them might be suitable for the Crossed in Translation project. The owners might be able to help with information on the yarn used in the patterns. Shipping is a flat $8 CAD per order, for both Canada and the US."
Thanks Denise!
Best,
Cara

I went on the ami-itoya site, and every 100% wool item is sold out. @#$%^&*

I don't think the yarn for the CIT cardi was 100% wool--it was a wool acrylic blend--60/40.
This is a link to the actual yarn:
