Anyone else love a crafty bargain from a charity shop?
I volunteer in one of the charity shops near me and we get so many lovely crafty donations. I was filling up the craft section yesterday with loads of odd balls of yarn, pieces of patchwork fabric and boxes and boxes of unused coloured pencils. We quite often get cross stitch kits, tapestry kits, paints, easels, beads... you name it, we get it.
Our policy is "price to sell" so large cross stitch kits go out at a fiver, tapestry kits about £7 or £8, acrylic yarn is 2 balls for a pound, and we have endless supplies of knitting needles too.
Currently knitting a scarf/wrap thing with two part balls of sock yarn I picked up last time I was in, no idea what it is but it feels very woolly, either 100% or something like a 80% wool 20% nylon mix. It's lovely. Bright red, pinks and purples. Lovely to work with too. And because it was two part balls with no labels to tell us what it was, my colleague had priced it and put it out for £1.50. BARGAIN!!
