I know this is an old video but I think a lot of thrift art stores have a ton of knitting needles because most knitters have either moved to or only use circular needles instead of straight needles.
Great yarn haul! I love finding yarn bargains. The only thing that worries me is bringing bug infested yarn home. However, I have no problem putting all my second hand yarns into a large bag and into my freezer for a few days. I always smell my yarn before buying. 😁🧶 Thank you for sharing!
I agree! Precautions should always be taken to protect our “yarn investments” that’s also why I’m so particular with smells. I don’t want anything to transfer. Thanks for the tip!
I just found your channel the other day. I really enjoy listening to you, watching your yarn hauls and advice you have about yarn. Your voice is so calming too!
Wow! You got the motherload! You're going to love that malabrigo! It's one of my favorites. One of the first yarns I ever bought was a malabrigo yarn found at a salvage store. I also discovered, and bought, a lot of Cloudborn Fibers hanks at that same store. I think I eventually bought all they had for $3.99 a hank. Great find.
@Dawna-loves-yarn No I haven’t yet! I think it’s one of those things that seems intimidating but then once you do it, you wonder what held you back, if that makes sense. It feels very “wooly” and natural so I bet it would lend to felting…….
Beautiful yarn haul! FYI, Patons is pronounced [PAY] + [TUHN]s. “Paton Son and Co. (was) founded in 1814 by John Paton of Alloa, Scotland.” (source: Tasmanian Wool Centre)
Ok thank you! I enjoy a good tidbit of yarn history lol! And thank you for watching too. I had fun thrifting that day, I wish all hauls were as good as that one lol 😂 Have a fantastic weekend!
You should definitely give it a try sometime! But, I will tell you that I usually strike out attempting to thrift yarn. This is just an exceptional thrift store! Keep me posted!
Thank you and thanks for watching! That’s unfortunate that there aren’t more thrift shops there! It is helpful to find bargains on all sorts of stuff. I’m in the Midwest US, and here, lots of people go thrifting, regardless of income. It’s just a fun thing to do and potentially find both bargains and vintage!
I hope you enjoy this thrift haul, I can’t resist looking for cheap yarns lol! 😂😂😂

Whaaaaaat???? $3.99! I’d buy them all too, lol! I’m excited to dig into the Malabrigo, I’ve already gotten into the Rowan and Patons lol 😂
@ShannonTalksYarn according to Crystal at bagoday, that Patons classic wool is great for felting. Have you done that yet? It's fun and easy.

Brilliant haul. Definitely no shame. Wish we had more in the uk.
