See all this yarn? So much that I couldn't hold it all at one time?
I bought it for $15!
No joke.
So I'm going through a kind of tough time trying to transfer colleges unsuccessfully. Meanwhile through all the stress I'm still trying to work hard, get good grades, etc. etc. But I had a little ray of sunshine last week when my friend & I visited a yarn store ("the biggest in the county") that was just down the road from my apartment!
Among other beautiful things (that you'll probably see knitted up eventually) the best deals I got were the two pictured above. 7 skeins of Karabella Breez (That's cashmere & silk!) for $5 total & 8 skeins of handspun 100% wool for $10! (On consignment)
So now I'm knitting up the cashmere/silk into a new sweater design. It's finer-weight than I've ever used for a sweater, so we'll see how it turns out!

ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteIt's in upstate new york! It was so inexpensive because it was a consignment sale. My friend walked away with a couple skeins of beautiful turquoise cotton too!
whoa, what a crazy bargain!! looks like you scored some amazing yarn, too. happy knitting!
ReplyDeleteThat is an amaaaazing find - you're right, because I'm definitely jealous. You probably can't even get a single skein of cashmere/silk for $5. It'll be awesome to see how this sweater turns out!
