vegan columbus: vegan living in central ohio

I got an email recently from Angela over at knitpicks.com. I wasn't familiar with her or her site before, but it sounds great from her email:

Hi,
I’m vegan, and I work at Knit Picks. Since our new warehouse is actually located in Columbus, OH, I thought you might be interested to know that we have 5 vegan yarns now-
With the addition of our newest cotton/acrylic blend, Comfy, Knit Picks now offers five cruelty free options for vegan knitters starting at only $1.99. CotLin is a DK weight, Tanguis Cotton/linen blend available in twelve colors for only $2.49. Our Pima cotton/modal blend, Shine, is available in sport and worsted weights. Modal is a bio-based fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose from beech trees into fiber, and it gives the Pima cotton a lustrous quality akin to silk. Shine sport is available in twenty luscious colors like Blush and Hydrangea, and Shine worsted comes in seventeen different hues. Both lines start at only 2.49 a ball.
Our fifth cruelty free yarn is our Crayon boucle; it’s 100 percent cotton, DK weight, and available in fourteen yummy colors making it the perfect yarn for kids’ projects or for drapey, soft summer knits.
On average our yarns are priced $4 to $7 lower than yarns with comparable fiber content sold by our competitors so they’re worth checking out.
The warehouse isn't open for retail purchases, but I could arrange a tour for you if you ever want to check it out. Just drop me a line at press@knitpicks.com
All the best, Angela

Since the planning for the vegan knitting circle is still in the works, you have time to go to knitpicks.com, check out the cruelty-free fibers, and order them in time to be happily knitting away with them by the time I finally get time to make the promised knitting cupcakes!
