Ok, I have to admit that I didn't think Des Moines would have any great knitting shops. However--I was wrong. Creative Corner in Valley Junction has stuff I've never seen before. Even better=good prices. I purchased 5 different skeins there (for, you know=dog & cat projects).
My favorite has to be Araucanias Nature Wool Chunky. I bought color 108, an orange to make ST a felted sweater. It worked up beautifully, and I hope it felts nicely too. $8.95 for 100 gram ball, and it looks just like Manos but at nearly half the price. Next on my list to try from them is alpaca.

Hey there!
Glad to hear you found some yarn shops in Des Moines. I didn't know there were any, either.
I looked up the Araucanias yarn, and it looks really nice. I'll have to check the LYS to see if I can find any to touch, too.
