We have three nearby "charity shops" - Salvation Army, Good Will and a one
run by a local home for battered women. The first two never have knitting
stuff, the one run by the home for battered women often has yarn. I get
most of my quilting stuff at the fist two, so I am not about to say anything
bad about them.

They're a source of very good bargains too suzee. I use the charity shops
regularly.

Last year I managed to get 4 x 400 gram cones of 4 ply (fingering weight)
at 50 pence (about $1) each. There were 2 white, 1 pale blue and 1 navy
blue - all brand new - so they've gone into my stash.

I have yet to be lucky enough to find yarn in our local thrift shops,
however I have bought a few pattern books (I already have most of the ones
they have), and other crafty books from them at a fraction of the original
cost.

It seems that when people are moving house they clear out cupboards and
send all the stuff (new and used) off to the local charity shop. I wish
they'd move more often ;-)

LOL I agree!
