Stock-up yarn, fiber, and maker basics
These are the everyday supplies worth keeping on your shelf. Stock up on merino and Corriedale wool top and sliver, natural undyed wool, Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride yarn and Nature Spun cones, Brown Sheep Wool Warp, Bockens cotton warp seine twine, Lofty 8/2 and 8/4 cotton cones, Euroflax linen, and undyed Blue Faced Leicester and Corriedale yarn.
Buying for your stash
Think about what you reach for most. Cones are the best value per yard and a must for weavers, since one cone can warp several projects. Undyed yarn and fiber are a blank canvas for dyeing and a neutral base that goes with everything. Spinners and felters go through merino top and Corriedale sliver quickly, so a larger bag saves reordering. Keep yarn and fiber in a cool, dry place away from light, and store wool with cedar or lavender to deter moths.
