Finally had a day at home today. I had time to sort through my thrift store yarn find! That was fun! I got my yarn winder out and wound up some of the messy balls.
Gosh I miss my yarn organization I had when I had a house. I used to have yarn bins but when we moved, I packed my yarn in boxes and the kids used the bins in the camper for their clothes and stuff. When Jeff starts working, I'm going to get me some more yarn bins so I can find my yarn easily. I've got plenty of room upstairs in my room to put them.
I found 7 balls of Sirdar yarn in there. This alone would have probably cost more to buy new that I paid for the whole lot...
I also have a lot of this 100 percent wool. They are tiny little skeins of tapestry yarn. Not sure what to do with this. It is wool so I wonder if I could do some felting with this?
At last, I got all the little small balls of scraps together which reminded me of my scrap afghan! I have a box I keep all my scrap yarn in. I don't let it get too full before I add it to my scrap project. I've shown this on my blog before. I'm going to work on adding to this and getting my scrap box under control. This is made from a simple rectangle granny square.
I love scrap blankets. They are so....Usable. I used them without guilt. I have another one I made that I keep in the truck. I used it just this week to set down on the cold bleachers at the stock show to keep my fanny warm.
Well, the week is drawing to a close! Next week everything "starts" again! Alison goes back to dance classes and Jeff starts his new job. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

I am so jealous of your yarn find :) But I have a question. Did you get a multi in red pink and white? I would be willing to buy it off you :) I just need a little bit and have looked everywhere. Can't wait to see what you are going to create with all that yarn.

Hi. Love your yarn haul! Hope you have lots of fun with it.
My walmart said they are coming out with new spring yarn!
I hope they come out with a decent peach yarn.
You probably could do some felting with the wool type yarn.
