If you live anywhere within a 2 hour drive of Washington, NC, (or further, if you don't mind a bit of a journey), there will be a yarn tent sale in Washington, NC. This is operated by Spinrite Yarns, the Canadian company that manufactures and distributes all the yarns from Bernat, Carron, Peacher & Cream...basically the Yarnspirations.com site.
Every August about 2 hours from where I live in Ontario, Canada, they have this huge tent sale...and you can get all your favourite big box store yarns (not Coats & Clark nor Lion Brand products though) for a fraction of even the sales costs of yarns at Walmart, Joann's, ACMoore, and Michaels.
Here is some info: https://www.facebook.com/SpinriteYarnFactoryOutlet
If you go and see the folks there, or chat with Mikey or Daniel, tell them Charles from Niagara told you about the sale.
Have fun!
