New Yarn Toy

 

A couple of weeks ago, I received Joann's coupon book, and in my shopping spirit, I thought I wanted to find something I liked rather than something I absolutely needed. However, my trip to Joann's was unsuccessful, or maybe I didn't look into every aisle. So, I decided to drive over to Michael's, hoping to find better luck there. I was under the impression they still accept coupons from other stores, but it turns out they only do price matching now.
While I was exploring the aisles at Michael's, I saw an umbrella yarn winder on the floor in front of a shelf. Magic moment—I remembered having so many yarn hanks sitting around waiting to be wound up! The thought of doing it by hand, wrapping each around a chair, sounded like a chore I wasn’t ready to spend time on just yet.
Since Michael's wouldn’t take my 50% coupon, I made my way back to Joann's, determined to find that yarn winder. What can I say? They had the exact same one as Michael's! Thanks to my coupons, I was able to snag it at 50% off since it wasn’t on sale. Since I had two coupons, I went back a day later and bought a second one, one for myself and one for a gift.
I brought my new find to our Knit and Crochet Circle on Wednesday, and we had a blast trying it out together. It was such a joy to share the moment with friends, and it feels good to have the perfect tool for winding my stash of yarn hanks.
