If you follow me on Twitter<\/a>, you’ll already know that I just discovered I live a one-hour drive away from the yarn-lovers paradise (aka the Bernat\/Patons yarn factory outlet<\/a>), and, as if that wasn’t exciting enough, there’s a big sale there this week – eek!<\/p>\n

I headed out there this morning, through what should have been a lovely drive through farmland and Mennonite country (spoiled only by the dreary skies and insistent rain). I got there 10 mins before opening time, and there were already 2 cars ahead of me. By the time the doors opened, there were about 7 more cars waiting – I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes a yarn bargain.<\/p>\n

\"Yarn
\nIt’s more exciting on the inside!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"yarn
\nThe yarn without ball bands is sold by the ounce… at a crazily low price<\/em><\/p>\n

\"yarn
\nAmazing deals on bagged yarn – with an extra buy 3 get 1 free on the bags<\/em><\/p>\n

I spent over an hour in there – it was just so difficult trying to decide what to buy, when everything was at such great prices. My only slight disappointment was that Bernat Satin was at regular store prices – otherwise I would have spent a lot<\/strong> more. In the end I managed to limit myself to this little lot:<\/p>\n

\"my<\/p>\n

That’s 24 x Bernat Bamboo, 10 x Patons Cha-Cha, 5 x Patons Divine, 3 x Bernat Cool Crochet. And all for under $40 (Canadian) INCLUDING tax. That’s less than $1 per ball, and about a fifth of the regular prices!<\/p>\n

Ahh, I just love a bargain – it was definitely worth the trip. I hope I haven’t inspired too much yarn envy… What do you think of my haul?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
