We the undersigned, demand that yarn manufacturers world-wide abandon the policy of retail keystone pricing (vertical price fixing) within the yarn industry. We believe that yarn manufacturers should manufacture yarn and not regulate the yarn industry by "leveling the playing field" among yarn retailers through keystone pricing policies. We believe that retailers should be allowed to compete freely against eachother and that free-market economy is what the U.S. is based upon, not industry regulation. We also believe that keystone-pricing hurts the end-consumer by keeping yarn prices artificially inflated and in general is an unethical (and potentially illegal) business practice.
