I’ve been looking for a craft store that caters to candle and soap makers forever in this area. A blog that tells you which craft stores you can buy supplies at would be rockin’

For colorful yarn, I like woolarina.com and luxefibre.com. You can check the Crafty Bastards Classifieds. Also try locally owned StitchDC.com and do a search on etsy.com.
For candle and soap making, I know the big chains stores like Michaels and A.C. Moore carry supplies. Not sure if there is a locally owned shop.
