The "new" yarn store - which has been open for a year now - put out the word last week that they'd be having an anniversary sale today. Everything in the store was 20% off, except the stuff that was 30% off.
So much for my New Years' resolution to buy no new yarn or fiber this year! Two vests, a shawl, a throw, many pairs of socks, some circulars, and a scarf for Meemaw later I managed to escape, but just barely.
I have to say, even though the "new" shop is a 25 mile drive it is certainly worth the trip. The "old" shop just doesn't carry any good basic yarns anymore while the new shop has pretty much everything I ever want to work with that isn't my own handspun.
Now if I could just get past the blinding Barbie-pink shade of this wool for Meemaw's scarf...
