Expensive yarns???
I have moved up to the more expensive yarns since my knitting has
improved a bit. I just purchased 3 balls of wool blend yarn for $40 to make a single scarf for my oldest daughter. I rec'd a cashmere scarf for Christmas, two years ago, and it had the tag on it for $29.99. It is very nice looking and wonderful to the touch. It seems, to me anyway, that the non-acrylic yarns are all a bit too expensive. With so many yarn competitors in the market I am surprised at the high cost. Am I being to cheap or what? I have raised sheep on the farm and I have an inkling of how much a pound of wool costs to raise and, well it all seems way too much! Perhaps, I should return to the farm and raise wool myself, eh?
