The List

Here you will find information regarding various yarn manufacturers and where they stand regarding keystone pricing policies. In some cases, the information on this list is documented (DOC) and in other cases, the information is based on word of mouth (WOM) from various sources. When possible, we will include all resources next to the information we provide, however in order to protect a retailer's anonymity we may be asked to omit it. Please keep in mind that while our goal is to provide accurate and reliable information, word of mouth may not be as reliable as documented information. This list is not yet inclusive -- we are in the process of contacting yarn manufacturers directly to ask them exactly where they stand on the issue of keystone pricing and will add any and all information as they provide it to us. If however, a yarn manufacturer "declines to comment", we will notate that information on this list as well. Your patience in this endeavor is greatly appreciated and we suggest you check back often for updates to this list.
