However, we didn't feel incliined to join the long queue in order to save $2 on flannelette (which is what we needed) so we left the area with some binding clips, some non-melt quilting pins and some tee pins (for blocking knitting). We somehow found ourselves in the yarn section! LOL
They had pure Australian wool for just $2.00 a 50g skein (normally $2.99). So, I bought four skeins to knit some more mitts for Homeless Connect Day.

Sock yarn was reduced from $14.95 for 100g to $7.00 - now that's a bargain. But I managed to find some of last year's colourways for $6 a skein - even better!

Total: 1200g of yarn. For someone who wasn't intending to enhance the stash at all, I think I've done rather well!
Excellent catch on the yarns.....I don't know why it has to be so slow for cutting fabric-it is that way here, too.
ReplyDeleteOkay I know I'm slow; but why has it taken me this long to realise that the big box Store is Spotlight.
ReplyDeleteWhat gave it away? The Moda Vera yarn. Blah I want a Spotlight near me! Okay I have one, which is about 45mins drive. Yes I know I did this in Sydney,but that was always after a lovely morning tea with my friends.
Did they have much sock wool left on the bargin table?
ReplyDeleteI got some sock wool a month ago off the bargin table and some cotton for Katie make dish cloths. I think it would be good pratice for her knitting skills.
The sock wool was purples and greens for $6. I was going to go back and get some more when I was passing through the other day but I ran out of time. I usually only go down to Penrith once in a while.
I have a layby to pick next week at the Wool Inn so I might pop in and see if there is any thing left on the bargin table.:)
Didn't get to the knitting guild last month Son#1 had a birthday party to go to. We are at a new school now and I wanted to get a chance to meet the other mothers in my son class. Its hard at school to have a chat. Lou keeps running off. I was dissapointed only 3 parents stayed even the birthday boy mum was surprised as well that not more mums didn't stay. I was thinking dam I should gone to the meeting my Son would of been fine without me there.
oh you did well. Im a big fan of stash enhancement, as you know....
ReplyDeleteI never knew that Spotlight was called the Big Box store? Have I been living under a rock? LOL Great yarn purchases, loving that delicious red. And I'm so proud that you're doing quilting too, have I told you how proud of you I am?
ReplyDeleteLovely shades of wool. I love that your are knitting for the needy. Best wishes and thanks for the visits to my blog. I always love to hear from you.
