I hear ya-

I went into a small yarn shop and started loading up on some eyelash and ribbon yarn and such and although I only walked out of there with about 4 skeins it was $60!! The woman in there was really nice so when she rang me up I just smiled and handed her my credit card. Back to Michaels for me...( at least prices there are clearly marked)

Ok - I confess I just overspent on yarn and I would do it again if I could!!
I just found an amazing yarn store in my area (Bucks county PA) and it has the most amazing yarns. Yes, there are some very pricey ones- but not nearly as expensive as the ones in that snobby boutique. It is huge! two rooms floor to ceiling of yarn- they had EVERYTHING! from Noro to trendsetter to well- everything and size skeins. They also had a TON of books and magazines. Lots of room for their classes in the back room and they had all sizes and shapes of hooks and needles. I actually found a size Q tunisian that I had no idea anyone made! And it was only $10. Many of their skeins were just $6 and still the best quality. I guess there are still mon and pop type yarn stores out there that offer good prices on top quality yarns!

Oh geez those people need to get a life.I use what I can afford and depending on how well I think the person getting the item will care for it.I buy lots of yarn & cute clothes at walmart and very readily tell someone who asks were I got it.I don't think it matters what something cost if you like it you like it, and if you can afford it buy it. I use cheaper yarn more because I can make more stuff, if all I used was pricey yarn I wouldn't be able to make as much.

I agree! I have suddenly TONS of yarn!! eek & I bought some of it at our local discount store, Pamida. Its mostly red heart. Some I won at ebay, but none of it is expensive or specialty yarn, BUT I like all of it, and I think its perfect for the stuff I am making, and have on my to crochet list! HOWEVER my lil old lady neighbor, who is the sweetest thing ever, was over visiting and had a friend with her, and the friend said she was sorry all my hard work was wasted on such "cheap" no good yarn!! I about fainted and immediately thought of this post by Kaycee!! :rolleyes: SOME people even if they are 90, have WAY too much time on their hands! <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The next time just tell her (with a smile)
My yarn may be inexpensive but what I make with it is priceless. *wink*

I'm so glad you are trying differnt sizes of hooks. I've been crocheting for many years and have always been partial to my H hook. But lately I decided to try the "other side of the alphabet" and go with some larger hooks. It's fun and I really like how quickly you can finish a project!
I'm working my way up to a Q!

The snobs would love buying yarn at the shop I go to...they sell candles and incense and such, so all the yarn smells yummy <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> . In fact, because of this, we stick little packs of incense in our yarn caddies so everything continues to smell yummy.

It's called the Stitch Inn and it is in Lahaska ( next to Peddlers village right on 202) if you are nearby- it is sooo worth it!
