The Yarn Mart had a sale... oh, snap.

I had just gotten off work yesterday when I got a text from my roommate: Did you see Meredith's status? Apparently Yarn Mart is having a sale.

My plans changed immediately, and I ran- literally- to The Yarn Mart. No, I drove. Anyway. I made it there before closing to find that they were going to be open an additional three hours beyond their normal closing time. More excitement. Long story short, I made out like a bandit. Nine skeins of yarn for under $25. I decided to photograph the loot.

This is the lot of it.

Soft yellow Soft Linen

 Four yellow skeins and five skeins of mixed colors.








This yellow Soft Linen was made in Romania for Reynolds Yarns. I saw Romania on the label, so naturally had to grab multiple skeins. Whatever is made from the Soft Linen is mine, just on principle... the principle that it was made in Romania, the home country of my heart.

This Tempo yarn is a cotton/acrylic blend made in Italy, apparently. It's got a lot of different textures and colors spun into .. looks like 3-ply. I love it. It feels fall-ish. It, like a lot of my yarn, will probably be turned into a scarf. Please note the Tempo's texture close-up!

Holiday Louisa Harding yarn!

^ This is a Louisa Harding yarn, and it reminds me of Christmas. I bought three skeins because that's all they had left in this particular color blend. It's a blend of several different materials, including cotton, linen, silk, and acrylic.

This yarn will probably sit in the Room of Requirement for a while as I work on other projects, and while I wait to find each yarn's most ideal pattern and project. I love, love The Yarn Mart! If you follow them on Facebook, you'll see sale updates - that's where they were updating sales that were going on all day yesterday.
