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.

Yup, pretty much! The bright red and the black are destined for outerwear in a couple different centuries (I got less of those), the blue is probably going to replace the wool I have for my 1870s ice skating dress (if I ever get around to making it!!) since the Joanns wool is nicer, and the cranberry...well, I couldn't just leave it there allll alone could I??
