Money Saving Tips for Your Knitting Obsession...

1. Look for yarn closeouts:

Overstock.com often find some great buys. Just type "yarn" in the search box at the top.

Yarn.com has a closeout page.

KnitPicks has a sale page.

Elann.com has one interesting list.

2. Participate in a yarn swap:

You likely have quite a bit of yarn already that, for whatever reason, you aren't using. Swap this yarn with others in the same situation who may have exactly what you want. You can find lots of de-stashing groups on Ravelry.com for this purpose.

3. Check out one of the Dollar stores like Dollar Tree (everything is $1):

You'll often find some wonderful yarn close-outs.

I'll have lots of other money-saving ideas for you each Friday.
