fabric woot

Was crabby today for various reasons, but day was improved by buying a truly excessive amount of wool from Joann's today. It's 75% off since our store's closing, plus my employee discount...equals a LOT of wool. Hey, it's nice wool, and while it's not $30/yd worth of nice, it's definitely less-than-$7.50/yd worth of nice!

I may or may not have bought most of what was left in our store. (Our store is quite small so that's not as expensive as it sounds.) If it's still there after payday I'll probably buy the rest of it and see if I can sell it on to one of you at a huge markup. *grin* It very well might be...things only went 75% today, but I've been working there for weeks, eyeballing the wool, and no one has bought it. I seem to live in more of a polyester-and-quilting-cotton kind of community.

Woooooool! Yum! (Is there any of the heavy cream left, or did you already buy it all? Although really, I'd take any of it...)

The Joanns near me almost never has real wool. It is all the polyester "wool" look. Much wool envy!

This on top of the fabric dot com wool? :-D Make sure to check out the silks and linens as well! Even the small stores are supposed to have white, black, red, and ivory silk.

I could use some black wool, just an fyi. And does this mean your out of a job?

Our local one just moved a couple weeks ago, and I didn't buy any costuming fibers except a bolt of buckram. Everything else isn't that fun: two bolts of cotton shirting for linings, two bolts of muslin, two bolts of sew in interfacing, a bolt of stretch denim and a bolt of pretty cotton sateen.

I'm surprised they didn't do what ours did: the old store was open until the 11th and the new one opened on the 12th.

What kind of stuff did you get?
