Just had to share...

I found some great deals today! I was at big lots and I found three cardboard boxes stuck in a VERY random place and they were all full of yarn! I got three skeins of Phentex fashion thirteen for $1 each which feels like lion suede, but less bulky and I'm going to make a purse from that, and I got three skeins of Paton's Carmen also $1 each and this stuff is SOOO soft. I'm going to make a scarf from it. I also got a skein of Lion Boucle in Jelly Bean that I'm going to use as doll hair for $1.50

 

I'm so excited!

I just was talking about this on another thread. I made the mistake of walking in to the local Big Lots last week, and found a gold mine. I spent about $30, and not more than $2 on any of it. The $2 was spent on the single skein I found of Red Heart Soft Baby (6 oz). I found a bunch of really usable Paton's and other brands for $1.00 and $1.50 a skein. Some were Paton Glittalic (95% Polyester, 5% Lurex), Paton Lacette (39% Nylon, 36% Acrylic, 25% Mohair), Paton Brilliant (69% Acrylic, 31% Polyester), Premier Yarns Elite (100% Acrylic), Coats Schachenmayr Aurora (55% Cotton, 45% Acrylic) and Lion Suede Prints (100% Polyester). I will be happily busy for a few more days now.

 

Blessed Be.

Wow, you struck the mother load. Well done!

Krystal ~ the Phentex Fashion 13 that feels like suede is chenille. It's great and will make up nice into a purse. It's best to use tight sts with it because chenille worms (crawls) out of the sts eventually ~ so I usually use sc, but hdc is OK too.

Gee you girls are so lucky. I never find any yarn at our Big Lots or dollar stores.

I'm with Debby, I never see yarn at my local Big Lots....you are sure lucky! Enjoy your new stash!

[Gardener]

The yarn at the big lots here is always in an unlikely place, usually still in boxes, stacked haphazardly along a side wall. They don't always have any, but when they have it, its often a really good deal.

I finally scored at our Big Lots! I got alot of the Paton's mentioned above and some Lion Suede....I spent 26 bucks for 22 skeins of yarn........SCORE!

Our Big Lots store hasn't had any yarn either - but I'm going to keep checking. I don't have near the amount of yarn that I'd like to have! Hope you enjoy your new projects!

[AutumnWindsong]

So far, just with part of the Big Lots stuff I got, I've made 3 hats, 1 scarf, 1 dress for a 6 1/2 year old niece, and the ideas keep coming. Have an awesome day!!!

 

Blessed Be.
