Where to Buy Vintage Yarn and Thread

Often your vintage crochet or knitting patterns call for a yarn or thread that is no longer avaialable. You can choose a substitue, but sometimes you want the original vintage yarn or thread. Here are some resources I have found and I'll keep adding to it as I find more. My goal is that every pattern will have a link to sources for the original vintage yarn and thread.

All the text links below lead to either eBay or another online store that carries vintage threads and yarns. If you have other suggestions, please feel free to add them.
