What a deal! Wish I could find one like that. I know my sister got a rubbermaid tote full of yarn at an estate sale, for $5! Tote alone was worth that, so she got the yarn and a storage container for $5.

DS drove me back around noon (1/2 price at 11) in pouring rain I mean it was like a hurricane but there were plenty of people shopping. Some lady bought all the yarn that was there yesterday afternoon she reeally got enough to start a store. I got two big boxes for $3 full of crochet magazines and Leisure arts stuff etc so if anyone is looking for a book etc let me know. At least 50 in each box I think there are some old McCall's Needlecraft mags.
