      www.sewbaby.com has a fairly large selection of prints. I think there are a few shops on etsy that have cuter prints.

      www.wazoodle.com has mostly solids but has good   descriptions of the different kinds of knit fabric.

      I prefer interlock myself. Or pique, which I don't have a source of yardage but you can often find in men's polo style shirts. It doesn't pill ever and it holds up forever, I make my kids shorts out of my husband's old shirts!

            I've picked up some cute knit from www.zoodads.com. I've never been unhappy with the knit's I've received from her. However, this is a side business for her and sometimes the ordering process is a bit slow. Also, if you happen to send a check, double check the mailing address as the PO Box on the web-site needed to be updated last time I ordered.

              One of my favorite online retailers for knits is The Fabric Fairy, especially if you're sewing for little ones (or like bright colors!)  The owner is really nice and helpful, she can probably steer you in the right direction if you tell her what you're making.  I believe the website is

              www.thefabricfairy.com

              The last time I was in Purl, they also had some great Japanese import knits, which are probably on the website.  Expensive, but cute Smiley
