Windfall

[iamshadow]

A bit over a week ago, I got this haul for $20 from a charity store in Sydney. That's 4.7 kg of 8ply acrylic. Exactly what I use to make toys with.

Now, given that 100g of cheap acrylic ranges from $3-$4, that's between $150 and $190 worth of yarn right there.

That's not a bargain, that's theft.

*feels simultaneously thrilled and mildly guilty*

Oh damn I'm jealous.

I'm still in a bit of a daze about it, personally.

*gapes* I'm officially and seriously jealous. They're lovely colours as well. Nice one!

I was really pleased at the variety of colours. If it had just been pinks and blues, I wouldn't have been anywhere near as interested. As it is, there's a great varied spectrum.

Oh, I just want to flop down in that (and possibly help you wind it into proper balls).

[iamshadow]

Yeah, it does need proper winding. You should have seen it at the charity shop - about 1/3 of it was all tangled up together. I spent about twenty minutes in the store, sorting it out a bit just so that I could see what there was, before money even changed hands. Last night, we got the big snarl worked out, and I've bagged the skeins according to colour (blues, reds, etc), but haven't rewound anything properly yet. I have too much else to do right now! :D

[ghoti]

me too! (the flopping not so much the winding ;-) )

Oh wow. That's... I'm totally jealous.
