The worst yarn I bought was very, very expensive (for

always the best indicator - just usually.

Ain't it the truth! I don't actually understand *why* yarn should cost so much,
particularly very basic colors that people use huge quantities of, like
off-white Aran yarn. I can kind of see it with all the unusual colors and
patterns that go in and out of style. I think there is something funny about
the market.
