Red Acquisition

 I popped into a Dollar Tree on my way home from somewhere and made sure to look at the yarns. Dollarama hadn't had anything in red-red (just maroon) and I couldn't even find the yarn at Giant Tiger recently. The yarn at DT is pretty crappy.  Some of it was Premier brand, and I hear vloggers rave about it but it felt icky. They did have this yarn. I haven't used a similar yarn for scarves, so I thought it would be a nice addition to the red stash. 



It feels quite soft. It doesn't have that "dry" feel of other similar yarns I've tried. I got 4 balls, so 200gr, and $7.91. I just realized I forgot to figure out the "per day" cost of my yarn buying. I had spent so long NOT buying yarn, I forgot that I used to include that. I won't do it today, but maybe at the end of the year. 

Yarn In: 200gr + 300gr = 500gr
Yarn Out: 2143gr
Balance:  1643 gr more OUT than in
Costs:  $7.91 + $7.90 = $15.81
