I have a few Russian patterns that i would love to make in the yarn recomended colours and i was wondering if anyone knew a site i could buy Russian yarn from, I am in Tasmania, Australia and cant find where to get the colours and yarns from.
I have order yarn sets for crocheting dolls from "etsy.com/shop/knittlife" which is from St Peterburgs Russia and most of the yarn she uses is a yarn named YarnArt from etsy you can find the shop its name is Fiscraftland, it ships world wide and is located in Lithuania (sorry I had to take the url out) just search the name from Etsy and it should bring the shop name up. Hope this helps you.
Oh, that is good to know! I have had to substitute the yarn many times and it appears we in the U.S. just dont have proper substitutes. I go through yarnsub to try to get yarn that is close enough, but I havent been able to find many color choices. Are the shipping costs reasonable?
When I purchase yarn from the etsy shop I usually order in the bulk because of the shipping cost, you can order single skeins of yarn, not sure what the price would be for the shipping would be.

Most of yarns, used in russian patterns are made in Turkey. But if you want to buy from there, the quantities are so big.. What kind of yarn you are looking for?

Most of the yarns sold in Russia are originally from Turkey. You can buy them from hobiumyarns.com This is the online shop that operating from Turkey, might be cheaper than alternatives since the yarns are local. If you need specific brands you can send me post message I can check whether it is from Turkey.
PS: The web site I wrote belongs to big yarn manufacturer named Kartopu. I live in Turkey so I dont have experience with their international shipping performance. But I can tell that payments are secure and they have good customer services.
