So, I heard from Alice in Wonderland that there was a yarn yard sale taking place over the bridge this morning. Basically a couple had inherited butt loads of yarn, and they were selling it off yarn sale stylee.
Ever the yarn hos, Alice, J (f) of J n J fame, L (knitty newb) and myself decided to take the early Saturday morning trip to check it out. Rumor was, there was some nice stuff to be had.
I had $80 on me, and I gave them $80. Ever wondered what $80 of yarn yard sale yarn looks like?
It looks a bit like this:-
- 14 balls of Schachenmayr Safari (white / gray tweed)
- 5 balls of goldish what looks like rustic tussah silk (gold)
- 3 balls of Numei granite (black / gray tweed)
- 3 bals of Katia Gatsby (gold sparkles - like rowan lurex shimmer)
- 3 balls Berroco glace (neutral varigated color)
- 2 balls of Berroco cotton twist (cream)
- 1 ball of Berroco quest (silver)
- 1 ball of Fantacia Agate (pink and gold - 75% silk / 25% wool)
- 3 hanks of Gianni Versarce?! in Zeus (gray cotton with red sparkle)
- 1 ball Pingouin (white froufy stuff)
- 1 ball Anny Blatt Coto Egypte (black)
- 4 balls Anny Blatt Alexandrie (2 pink, 1 white, 1 Turquoise)
- 4 skeins of Naturwolle cotton Flamme Mercerisiert (pink)
That isn't all though...
- 10 balls of GGH Safari (in pink)
- 10 balls of Jaeger Cadiz (in tomato red)
- 9 balls of GGH Cascade (in white)
- 9 balls of Master's Fil Stringhetta (in beige - no idea of price... it looks like Berroco Suede)
I feel sort of bad, as after a quick tot up of prices at home on the stuff I could identify - I think it would have cost roughly $500 new... This is based of the fact that if I can't find the yarn, I price it at $3 per thingie... which is pretty generous on the low side. Or if I find a sale price, I use that.
I do feel bad now, I think I should send them some more $$$ maybe. |

Urgh. The issue is there's actually an account, which really sucks. Of course, you could report it to blogger.
I got 3 of these on my last post too :(
