Best Online Shops for Knit Fabrics

I have been attacked by fabric bug recently and I'm constantly looking for finding best places to shop online for fabrics. I'm in love with Knit fabrics after watching craftsy sewing with knits class.Instructor Meg McElwee is very good. I'm learning on my own to sew and this class helped me to start sewing. I can confidently say this class is a must for a beginner like me.

I will start with the shops I have shopped and how their fabrics are ......I'm not associated with any of these websites :)

  1. Joann I had purchased couple of knit fabrics at my local Joann's shop. I liked couple of them and some are not holding their shape properly. The average cost of fabric is more than $6 even after using coupons and finding them in clearance bins. I'm not going to purchase knit fabrics here again.
  2. Fabric Mart Fabrics : I have shopped here many times. I love this shop because it is more affordable and you can get designer fabrics for far less than market price. This place has lot of different varieties of fabrics. Knit fabrics are so good even the ones which are priced $1.99 . The quality is so good and I have made many leggings for my 6 year old and they still are holding its shape and stretch. Warning : Very Addictive :)  If you are shopping here for first time, use "Welcome" coupon code and get 20% off.
  3. Fabric.com I have shopped here couple of times. Quality of Knit fabric is good. They are holding their shape even after many washes.
  4. Hawthorne Threads
    This is my favorite shop. I have shopped here and found good deals on designer knit fabrics for a steal price :) But looking for knit fabrics here is a pain. They don't have a dedicated category for knits. You have to use search for knits. They have only designer knits. I often find good prices for these designer knits on sale from $4.99 to $9.99 . The regular price for these designer knits will be more then $14. 
    This shop offers Tiered pricing . Utilize this and their shipping is very good compared with other online shops. You can find good cotton fabrics for low prices too. I don't know their fabric sale timings but I see the quilting cotton fabrics will be on sale all the times.
  5. Girl Charlee
    I have purchased here. I like the fabric. But may be I should more careful instead of just picking whatever is on sale. I had few fabrics which are just like new even after many months but some of the fabrics pilled after couple of washes. But I like the prices and prints.
  6. Chezami: I have purchased knit fabrics here. These fabrics are very good but shop is closed forever now.
