I'm guessing it's because Canada doesn't exactly have a booming wool industry? I don't use animal yarn but I do notice a significant price difference between synthetics and wool; not sure if I could afford to knit if I was one of those people who insisted on wool.
I get my sock yarn on the cheap from Michael's online.
Also, finally finished the cuff of that knee high sock. This is taking foooooooreveeeeeeeer.
