I've written before about a wool I picked up at Wal-Mart, called "Georga", which said it is "mercerized". That's a term that's used with cotton fibres, but not usually with wool. Some people feel that means it's been treated to be superwash, however, at least one person has used it to make felted slippers. Anyway, I was at "Giant Tiger" (better and bigger than a dollar store, but not huge like Wal-Mart), and they had some of this same yarn, but not called "Georga", just "100% Mercerized Wool". One colour would be perfect for two projects I'm working on, so I grabbed it and a black and soft white. $6 a 100gr ball. Not the best deal, but it's wool, and beautiful colours!
I was hoping that would be the last of the yarn shopping this year, but the lady that bought the two mermaid blankets wants two more, and Michaels is having another big yarn sale this week. Maybe they won't have any in stock and I'll have to go back NEXT year LOL.
Yarn In: 300gr + 8229gr= 8529gr
Yarn Out: 8806gr
Balance: 277gr more USED than bought
Costs: $20.34 + $352.46=$372.80 /362 days = $1.03/day
