    Cool Yard Sale Finds

    Went to a yard sale and I found ALOT of yarn and bought it. Not really knowing what all was in the box, I took it home and looked it over. It was full of full skeins of all different yarns from Red Heard, Lion Brand , and many more. The total count was 97 skeins for $40.00. Now that has really got my yarn inventory to the ceiling. my husband told me that I will never need to buy any more yarn for a long time.

    Depending on what you make, you may not have enough of any one color to complete a project and that's your excuse to buy more yarn! lol

    How WONDERFUL!!! I'm a yard sale addict and find lots of yarns, sometimes even the very expensive kind. It's amazing often a person starts but doesn't finish a project. Also, sadly, yarn is up for grabs when someone dies or gets too ill to crochet. That's how I managed to buy 40 crochet hooks for $5.
