Hitting the streets...

I have never much been into yard sales or garage sales - or whatever they chose to call them. Then I saw where Jen always has such luck finding yarns...I even e-mailed her and teased her that I wanted to go with them...

But, a few weeks ago, there was a huge estate sale right up the street from the house...and guess what I found...YARN...guess I gotta quit bitchin' that I never find yarn...not only did I find yarn - but wonderfully kept and extremely clean yarn. Most in their original bags.

The above photo shows some cotton yarns (partial skeins), knitting needls, the light blue is a Shetland wool, - the beige skeins are also a cotton.

Twelve skeins of a linen, rayon and acrylic. Very neutral color...but soft to the touch...

Eight wonderful skeins of 100% silk yarn...oh, it is wonderful...

And last but not least 5 skeins - 440 yards each - of Shetland wool. I don't know much about shetland wool - guess I had better do some research. The color is different but a very pretty green.

And, the total cost for all the lovelies: $5.00 - yes, you are reading that right...
