Thrift Yarn

I've been on a thrift store kick recently in order to decorate my house cheaper (as well as get outside toys for Emily).

Today as I pulled up to my favorite store (hello 45 cent skirt) I saw someone donating yarn. A lot of yarn. I "tactfully" waited until she'd left, then pounced.

I asked if I could look at the yarn even though it wasn't out in the shop yet.

It seems yarn moves slowly and they were happy to pull it all out. 4 trag bags full. I said, how much? The lady said normally 35 cents a skein. But as no one wanted to count them, (or store them) I offered $20.

I went home with my treasures. I counted 135 skeins, about 15 cents apiece. It's all cheap red heart type yarn, but perfect for charity blankets.

Can't wait to put it to use!!!
