Where can I buy colorful yarn?

Hi everyone,

first of all, Merry Christmas to everyone who’s celebrating or has already celebrated!

I’ll just come right out and say I’m a newbie—I’ve only finished three scarves so far, and I’m now back in the planning phase for scarf No. 4. And now I’m completely confused about where to get a wide variety of colors. My current plan would require at least 8 (solid) colors for the pattern, possibly more. And since I’m basing this on a specific image, these colors should match my reference as closely as possible.

Do you have any tips on where I can get yarn in a wide variety of colors? So far, a set from Wollfactory comes closest—except for the green. And since I want to try this pattern, I’d really like to have the perfect colors—otherwise, I’d be frustrated forever.
Are there any websites where you can search by color? Or general color charts so I don’t have to click through what feels like thousands of different yarns just to finally find all the matching colors somewhere?

Thanks so much for your help!
Sam

Servus, 

Wenn es Merino oder Merinogemisch sein soll, hat  Lana Grossa soweit ich weiß immer eine Farbkarte mit dabei und die kannst du dir auch in vielen Geschäften live ansehen. 

Bei BW kann ich Catania sehr empfehlen. Die haben auch sehr viele Farben.

Hallo!
Das Jorun's Botany Merino Garn gibt es in ca. 180 Farben und eignet sich ganz wunderbar zum Mehrfarben-Stricken! Die einzelnen Farben gibt es auch in 25-g-Knäueln, das ist praktisch, vor allem, wenn man mal von einer Farbe nicht so viel braucht. Bekommen kannst Du das Garn z.B. hier:

Viel Glück!

Danke für den Tipp! 
Den Hersteller kannte ich noch gar nicht. :)

Ich würde auch sagen kommt immer darauf an welches Material du verwenden möchtest. Wenn du allerdings selbständig bist kannst du doch bei recht vielen Herstellern Farbkarten anfordern.

Danke euch - über das Material hatte ich mir bislang keine Gedanken gemacht. Bislang habe ich immer nur die Wollpakete aus dem Supermarkt benutzt,  ohne weiter darüber nachzudenken. 

Die Links hab ich mir schon mal gespeichert! Wird dann nur noch was länger dauern ;)

Hallo Sam,

Ich kaufe mittlerweile hauptsächlich von Hand pflanzengefärbte Naturwolle; also reine Baumwolle, Merino, Alpaka, etc.

Zum einen sind beim Handfärben fast unendlich viele Farbvarianten und Kombinationen möglich und durch das pflanzenfärben habe ich auch nicht so viel Chemie an und in der Wolle.

Wenn du Interesse hast, schicke ich dir gerne eine Nachricht mit meinen Bezugsquellen.

Was die Eigenschaften der verschiedenen Wollsorten betrifft, kann ich dir diesen Beitrag hier auf crazypatterns empfehlen:

Viele Grüße,
