Good for you. I haven't found any since the 2nd day a new store opened near here. I did good on that day only.

Nice score!!!! And good colors too, sometimes you find colors that you can't mix, but yours are very good. You will have many hours enjoying working on all this yarn.
Happy stitching,

I have Yarn Acquisition Syndrome and it sounds like you do too. I used to work at Hobby Lobby many years ago, and when they were going to close out a type of yarn, I bought all of it, and of course it was nice to have my company discount.
If I were you I would look into this, as well as Salvation Army. They usually have things you wouldn't think they had. Like YARN!
I have 5 totes( Walmart brand very large) 8 ounce yarns and 2 small containers of cotton yarn and fun fur. I have requested that my children cover the coffin with yearn and put a skein next to me with a hook in my hand. I don't know about you all, but I can't just lay around. Pat

I have never had any luck when I went to the Good Will stores. I keep trying though. My daughter said that I was a yarnoholic too. I always go to the yarn department while my husband goes to the hunting and fishing section and if there are any different types in the store - I have to have buy some of it. Have a blessed day and you did good.

What a terrific find! I'm so pleased for you. All the colors are really nice too. I don't go to the Goodwill near my home, but I do check out Big Lots from time to time. They carry yarn sporadically, as does one of the dollar type (I can never remember which is which) stores near me. Mostly those will be fun type of yarns, or specialty yarns.
Don't forget to show us your creations with all that lovely yarn!
