Omigosh.. Michael's is going to be the DEATH of me!!!

[LadyyOftheOak]

Michaels is having a sale.

 

Bernat Matrix.. regular $5.99 a roll - now just $1

Moda Dea (not fun fur.. I'd have to look but this stuff feels so velvety soft like rabbit almost...) ... several different kinds ranging from $6.49 a roll to $10.99 a roll.. yup you guessed it.. now just $1

 

I have, in the past week or so bought approximately $90 worth of this yarn at sale prices. I would have to do some figuring, but if I average the yarn at $7 a roll I reckon I've bought SIX HUNDRED THIRTY DOLLARS worth of yarn.. for under $100....

 

:yay:yay:yay:yay:yay:yay:yay

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I got a bunch of old acrylic I'm going to be moving out to make room lol

LMAO that's what my mother says. My husband has learned to just keep quiet

 

Not sure how long the sale will go on, but I'm waiting and watching to pounce on the Moda Dea Dream which is still at half price.. hmm.. if it's still there next week i'm going to call the manager and offer to buy it all if she'll drop it to $1 a roll as well

11 Rolls - Moda Dea Kikx - $10.99

6 Rolls - Thick & Jiffy (for scarves) - $6.49

I bought some of that Moda Dea too to stock up for scarves next year. I love that yarn!!

[donnalynn2]

I went in there last week and they didn't have ANY of the dollar yarn left except the fancy fur. I really wanted the Baby Boucle so had to get a rain check. Now I'll just have to wait 6 weeks before they'll honor it! LOL

[CLLinda]

Yes, Michael's may be the death of you, but what a way to go!

 

Just kidding.

 

It sounds like a great bunch of bargains! You are so lucky.

 

[lhasaapsolady]

Thats the best time to buy, can't wait to see all the lovely projects you make with it.

[LadyyOftheOak]

Yes the Baby Boucle is gorgeous too... I love love the Moda Dea I got. It is sooooooo soft!!

You think you have it bad? My husband teaches oil painting at our local Michaels. This means that members of his household get 25% off all purchases. I can buy yarn, and not feel guilty, even when it is not on sale!

 

For Christmas, I crocheted scarves and hats for my 4 neices and 3 nephews. I went to Michaels to buy the yarn, in their favorite colors. My husband asked "You're buying yarn? What's your stash for?" He just doesn't get it.
