I want to crochet a scarf that would look good with a man’s suit (in a cold area). I would like to find that kind of yarn that has different colors… possibly one that includes dark blue and gray or black and blue/gray. Any ideas for where I could find such a thing (online or otherwise)?
try http://www.marymaxim.ca . It is mail order co. and you can look at yarns on their web site or call a 1-800 number to order. walmart has a good selection of yarn and also Michaels.
since it’s only a scarf go for more expensive yarns than you might otherwise buy since one skein or tow should be enough- think merino or cashmere since it will be right by the neck and you want it to be soft and warm with out being too hot ( like wool- ask the person you’re making it for what they prefer perhaps… casecade yarns are my favorite right now… luxury yarns at affordable prices…
then buy them at discount prices here: http://www.cascadeyarns.com/index.asp
You can go to patons.com, bernat.com, lionbrand.com, berroco.com, webs.com, loopyewe.com, knitpicks.com , or just look under the type of fiber you want to use. There is wool or wool blend, alpaca, cotton, linen, silk, cashmere, synthetic.

Joann Fabrics is a good place to start.
