Yarny News -- Sale & New Additions to Bulk Up Your Stash

One of the things I love best about blogging is the wonderful people I get to interact with, who fill me in on all kinds of noteworthy, yarny news! If you're looking to add to your yarn supply soon, here are two bits of news that might be of benefit.

Michael's Craft Stores is currently having a pretty terrific sale. Through March 1st, 2014, all Sugar n Cream 2.5 oz skeins of cotton yarns are 4 for $5. Time to stock up and start dreaming about spring and summertime crochet projects!

I love Sugar n Cream's stripes collection. The gorgeous skein in the foreground is what I use to make my spa cloths, which I blogged about here.

In other news, those of you who love Bernat's thick, plush Baby Blanket yarn will be excited to know that the company is going to expand the colors available for this line!! Beginning on April 1st, 2014, Bernat is adding home decor colors to the Baby Blanket yarn collection so us crafty people can make plush, soft blankets in grown-up colors. Woo hoo!

If you've got any further yarny news, be sure to share. Who doesn't like to start off the week with a bit of good news?

  1. Hi Mary, I am already dreaming of going to Michaels to get a "motherlode" of the Sugar and Cream cotton yarn :) I cannot wait to get there and buy, buy, buy. I also have a 15% off everything coupon so watch out Michaels, get those shelves stocked, I am on my way.

    1. Betty, I know! I'm salivating as I think about it. I'm going to have to pare down my color choices, but it's going to be hard. Hope Michael's has a large back stock!

    2. Mary, I had to practice a great deal of restraint to keep myself from skipping down the aisles to get to the Sugar n Cream. With my 25% coupon off my total, I got 30 skeins for $28…94 cents each! I wish I could attach a pic here (yes…I took one so I can just look at it from time to time just because it makes me smile! lol) This is great…I was running low and I have many Kindle/cell phone covers, towel toppers, etc to make. Thanks again for the tip and I'll let you know of any great deals I hear of! :)

    3. Woo hoo, Monica!! I'm doing the happy dance for you! I'd love to see a picture of all your yarn. I bought for skeins -- 3 for a couple of springtime baby bonnets I'm going to make and one skein for washcloths. I can't wait to hear what you make with all your wonderful yarn!!
