I think this must be heaven!! I can sit in my house and browse through thousands of yarn auctions! The best part is I won 2 auctions already and I feel like I have just snorted some really good wool dust!!! Okay, I never used drugs but I imagine this is what it feels like when you get high! I can't wait to start putting up some of my baby sets for sale. I have some vintage knitting books from a late aunt and the old stuff is beautiful. This new adventure is just what I needed to help me fight this nasty thyroid cancer that decided to invade my life. Knitting is a great escape and it takes my mind off of my troubles. Hoping to make some new friends.
Three of my favorite yarn sellers on eBay are yarntreehouse, jojosquare and yarnkoo. Their yarn is so soft. I love it and have been buying way more than I need.
Another good place to get yarn is knitpicks.com. Their yarn is great too.
Hello, and welcome to the eBay community. I totally know the yarn high you're talking about, and it NEVER goes away. You just will need to warn your loved ones about the yarn stash invasion that inevitably follows the discovery of affordable eBay yarn auctions. I have a yarn stash that's beyond real. And although I have thousands of knitting needles and tons of yarn, I still buy more. It's a total addiction. Although, I do plan to sell the yarn, needles and other stuff I know I won't get around to using in my lifetime. Lately, my passion has been knitting socks, hats and mittens. I've sold a few pairs of socks on eBay...so now, I have a reason to buy more yarn. You can check out my about me page, if you want. I've got a picture of one of my pairs of socks there.
I have to agree that yarn is a total addiction. I live and a fairly rural area, and don't have access to bigger yarn/hobby stores, so I had never realized how many great yarns there are out there! Right now I'm trying as many new types of blends and textures as I can get my hands on! I just recently taught myself to knit, and I'm still learning to follow the patterns, my next project is to try knitting socks/slippers and a sweater. Can't wait!
Hi from Ontario Canada. I too know the addiction of yarn and I hide it in bins so my hubby don't know how much I actually have. I have been on a buying spree from ebay and have spent so much on patterns that I would have to knit 24 hours a day for the next 50 years or so and I don't think that is possible as I am now 63, but hey my dad lived to 105 so I coud give it a good try. I like to squeeze the yarn when I am feeling down, and hey this is better and gives me more of a high than squeezing the Charmin, and its softer I think. Happy crocheting and knitting everyone, and hey today is your election day, ours was a couple of weeks ago and nothing changed.
Hi, glad you've found some great yarn here, I'm waiting on a package myself! I've also snagged some great needles and magazine back issues. Not that I NEEDED any, but they were a great buy.
Wishing you the best in your cancer fight.
Knitting keeps me sane, we have cancer in our family also.
You will beat this nasty cancer as you have a great outlook. I know the feeling with the yarn. When I am surrounded with yarn I tend to squeeze it and just look at it and I love browsing through the patterns. I don't know how to sell on ebay but someday I will learn, too busy buying now. God Bless and think positive each day and God is with you all the time. Hugs Judy
I too am new to all this, but learned a valuable lesson this week. I bought some yarn from one seller that I didn't like when I got it. I wanted to return it but the seller refused to accept the return. It was sold under a no return policy and the yarn is what she said it would be. I just didn't really visualize it correctly. Now I'm stuck with 18 skeins of yarn I don't want. So what I learned is that I will not order from someone who refuses to accept returns.
