Rather than big on gigantic lots of yarn, I'm now strategically thrifting smaller lots that contain very specific yarns I want, like this one.
Price was a factor for me; two of the Yarn Bee skeins are clearly marked $11.99, and I know Big Twist yarn runs about $4.49 a skein. Even the Jamie yarn has a price tag of $1.23. Yet I was also looking for colors and types of yarn. I want the Yarn Bee and Big Twist yarns because they work for specific projects I have planned. Finally quality, which is always a factor, also matters to me. The yarn all looks clean and most of it looks new.
The Aunt Lydia rug yarn runs about $3.00 a skein. I need these two skeins here for a fall project.
If I could get everything on sale, the yarn in this lot would cost me about a hundred dollars to buy new. I paid $9.99 for the lot with the buy it now option, so I didn't have to fight for it, which works out to about forty-three cents a skein. Savings: $90.01
