I got some amazing finds on ebay at the fort Wayne goodwill Indiana. They sent me a complete set of laurel hill hooks fancy scissors lot for papercrafting and a new 1971 steel set of pinking shears a lot of yarn, a pattern book and crochet thread. Vintage crochet hooks. 30 bucks about 8 dollars for ship. Crochet hooks are worth 100.00 alone so you can really get deals even on ebay.
Never tried the possum yarn as is usually really expensive. It's not US possum, but a small one in Australia/ New Zealand considered a pest so it is hunted. They usually mix it with merino to make a luxury yarn.
Hi Kim! Lol I am usually really quiet on here but, I'm working on building my own channel, so I am trying to meet new fellow creators and make new friends in our yarn community 😊🤗 I wish my goodwill would have nice yarn like that lol. I NEVER find food stuff! 😒
I. Am. HEARTBROKEN! 💔 I wish you'd had that possum fur yarn in your bag when you left. I, personally, would not have been able to leave the store without it. If only for the novelty of trying it out and having that label and a sample of it in my "collection". Seriously, how many of us here can say we own possum fur yarn, or have worked with it?
I so woulda got the ecru bag ! Hold it with some almost gradated colors and #6-8 needles for a shawl The sock yarn also can be held together and treat as dk weight .Been going thru stash and pairing up some LYS and thrifted yarns. Pairing with some mohair n lace been around too long ! Reason ? Want to make a warm shawl with a #4 and don't have enough yardage . See a trip to JoAnn in near future The snowmaggedon has stopped ! Yeh!
Hi Kim you got a good deal on the yarn you decided to keep. My thrift stores here dont really have much yarn. I did get lucky at the hospital auxiliary thrift had a kit for a sweater with all the yarn. I didnt like the sweater pattern but got 6 balls to make something else for 5 bucks. I've never heard of possum yarn before. Crytal from Bag O Day got her poodle's hair spun with some merino it looked gorgeous. Stay safe.
Hi Mrs.VtRedneck I made it to the hobby lobby in Glensfalls NY they still have clearance items. They just finished their clearance tickets today. I could have gone to Claremont NH. They finished their markdowns last week. Being I had to drive an Hour one way I went to Glensfalls/Saratoga I did good. Kim Joanns near me still has full sets of the Susan Bates interlock crochet hook sets or the little 2packs. Let me know if you want to make a trade as Hobby Lobby didn't have the big set of the knitters Pride bamboo interchangeable knitting needles I'm looking for a set for my 24 year old son knits and crochets
Do you ever have issues with the yarn smelling? Our thrift stores in my area smell awful and it seems to leak into everything at the store. Even after washing clothing a few times things sometimes still smell so I wondered about yarn. 🤷🏼♀️
the times i’ve gotten yarn from goodwill it has had a sort of pungent dust/garage smell, but it helps to lay it out in the sun for a day and let it air out!
I always look for yarn at the good, I often find great deals! Omg... on the possum yarn, I saw someone offering deals on squirrel yarn!!!😳 Not for me! 🥴
I see Goodwill is getting 'prouder' and prouder of its donated goods.
I scored a comforter size bag of yarn last week at my goodwill for $6.99, and being Wednesday I got 10% senior citizen discount.
Awesome!
Omg that is amazing ❤️🇨🇦
😂😂😂 I was yelling at you get the yarn!! So happy you did
Omg your control is amazing kim wow ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks Denise
Great job, Kim !
Great haul!🤩🤩🤩🤩
Possum yarn???!!!😳
WOW...I’ve NEVER seen that much yarn at any of our Goodwills!!!
Yeah i had to look like 4 times. Thought my brain was playing tricks on me
My thrift store is so overpriced for used stuff. Yarn is almost the same price as Walmart.😢. Great finds! Thank you for sharing !❤
Enjoy thrifting too
Sweet deals.
Wow, they had a lot of yarn!
Wow! Your Goodwill has so much yarn. My Goodwill rarely has yarn

Hobby Lobby in Attleboro has some clearance yarns. Mostly bulky but some others. It's 3/16 @ 4:20 pm.
Thanks Ruby! I went this morning! Are u on facebook?
@@AffordablyCrafty No, not on computer much. Does Seekonk have anything marked down yet?
@@Ruby-qj8ru no as of noon today
@@AffordablyCrafty Warwick did not as of Wed night. Thanks for the update.
Wow! Didn't know Goodwill sold yarn. Gonna have to check out the two near me tomorrow and see if they have any since I'm headed there anyway. 👍
Great yarn thrifting! Love all your videos! You do such an amazing job and teach us too! Thank you!🧶
You can also get a sweater and unravel it.
yes! I have done this in the past

I live on Long island, N.Y. and found today that the Commack store is closing in June. I'm wondering if others are.
Oooh thanks for the info

Do you freeze or take some other precautions with thrifted yarn to be sure there are no bugs? Just curious.
This pack was still factory sealed.

No I check… these were clearly donated by same crafter. I checked the singleton skeins

Wish my goodwills had yarn. You’re lucky to get a single skein of red heart that’s overpriced.
🥀
I could have it mailed out to you towards the weekend let me know
