magidThe yarn store on Lexington green, Wild and Woolly, is closing by the end of the month (and Windsor Button closed a couple of months ago too; it is a sad time for local yarn shops....). A knitting friend forwarded an email that in addition to the store closing sale, this morning there would be extra discounts given, so we went on a yarn quest.
As it turned out, I had a fully-punched loyalty card from them, and though the wording on the card was that it was good for $30 of full-price yarn, they were nice enough to apply it to the yarn I was getting.... after the closing sale discount of 40% (already marked on the skeins) and the extra 20% before 10 A.M. this morning. So I bought the yarn shown here (one skein all alpaca, three skeins mostly alpaca and some wool, one all wool, and that eyelash red stuff so very very synthetic):
.... for $1.20.
I'm still rather impressed with myself, and suspect thrifty female ancestors are doing the opposite of spinning in their graves. (Though come to think of it, that would seem appropriate for yarn deals.... :-).
