Yarn!
I was on bloglines, and Knit & Tonic linked to a great Merino Wool that is $8 a skein (197 yards) which I think is a good price, and she said its great to knit with. She's a fun blog to read, she's a flawed knitter to, but one of those amazing ones who finishes stuff a lot and we love to oogle over and adore :)
