Hi everyone,
My good friend who's into trying new things, decided to check out a local LYS for Brown Sheep's Naturespun for a felting project, since she thought the Lion Brand Felting Wool sold at Michael's was too limited in colors, and they said they "didn't carry Brown Sheep". They then led her over to their 100% wool shelves, and what's the first ball she picks up? BS Naturespun! They said, Oh, we must have had that since before the previous owner died, we should get rid of it. My friend, a sharp shopper, said I want this yarn, you want to get rid of it, if the price is right, I'll buy ALL your Naturespun stock. The ladies in the shop were all abuzz with excitement after that, because they took her up on the offer, and gave her a price she thought was right. She thought she MIGHT end up with 20 balls of yarn. Her DH told her don't worry about it, just keep filling those milk crates they're giving you, 40 balls isn't unreasonable.
Well, the final count was 61 balls! She made out like a bandit, and they got rid of old stock they didn't want, win/win, but she says she feels almost like a real bandit because of the excellent price LOL.
So she got really S.E.X.ed up with yarn her DH told her she'll eventually use because it doesn't go bad. I've seen it, 2 medium sized garbage bags packed full, what a wonderful haul. Just goes to show if you're in the right place at the right time and say the right thing, you can get a heck of a bargain.
