Good to know! ?I’ve never tried it before. ?Martha Stewart carries it in her online store so it can’t be too bad. Lol

And as you say, bargain retail therapy is oh so good. ?$6 bucks for all that yarn and in a pretty colorway, too. ?

?

I might even do something with little crochet granny squares..... ?but crochet takes a LOT of yarn. ? ?

Retail therapy at that price, who could criticize?

Something to divert the mind....

I haven’t knit anything in forever.
I haven’t bought yarn in forever!

But!? I was at Hobby Lobby the other day with Katie.? She was looking at wedding flowers/decorations and I have NO talent with that. So,? I meandered back to the fabric section and bumbled around.? Saw a little clearance shelf tucked away in a corner with all sorts of stuff.

There were 3 packages of Yarn Bee Pigment + Fiber in the Quarry Rock colorway.?? Each package includes 6 balls of yarn in shades from black to grey to winter white.? 1.99 each package.? .33?/ball of yarn.? (Katie didn't even scold me for buying more yarn at that price. ?)

It’s a wool/nylon/acrylic blend.? Very soft.? Should be sturdy.
Each set of 6 has a total of 630 yds.
Gauge is 32 spi on a size 2 needle.

I have all this high-end, expensive yarn tucked away and this makes me ridiculously happy. ?

No clue what to make with it!
Definitely thin enough for Fair Isle or lace.? Some fade pattern?

Ideas?? Here’s a pic.
