There''s the LYS in Glorietta I in Makati, near the cinema ticket counter, called Dreams. They have the widest range of needles, yarn and other knitting stuff. A lot are imported...
There''s also Craft World in Megamall, near Powerbooks. Not much choice but have imported acrylic and some novelty yarns and knitting needles.
I also go to the Carolina''s Lace Shoppe there, where they have mostly local acrylics and crochet thread.

personally, i like to come up with different or unexpected materials (especially if i have a hard time finding what i'm looking for....)
it really depends on what kind of handbags you're making when it comes to acrylic yarn.... might be really cool, or might not. but on the bright side, there have been amazing strides made when it comes to acrylic yarn - some really neat stuff out there now. if you're making bags, perhaps you could try some other sort of string that you have access to there. my kid's grammie is from PI and she used to crochet bags with thinner crochet thread and line them. or maybe you have some really cool string there that we don't even know about!

So, I started working on 2 belts: for the first one I got this great variegated thick cotton crochet thread with a sheen - it's orange and pink - and made up a pattern with single and treble crochet stictches, it's almost done, I'll post a picture. I really like it. not sure if I may mount it on something to make it sturdier.
For the second, I got some of the tan Lion brand suede-looking yarn and braided a whole bunch of strands together. Jury's still out on what I think. Will be adding some d-rings to both of them soon.

i am going to japan and korea! hooooooray! i am so excited.
Hey I really want to visit Korea, I hope you can post your pictures here.
I've finished crocheting two bags (I'm glad the pain in my right arm has subsided) and I'm working on two other bags..... I just want to clean up my place and convert all my crochet thread into something useful.
