100 year- yarn stash recipe

It's really easy to build a stash you won't be able to get through in the next 100 years. Just follow these simple rules....

1. Buy every yarn or fiber or fleece that calls to you.

2. Buy every yarn or fiber or fleece that you at least half like if it's on sale.

3. Go to one or two (or more) fiber festivals a year where you know you will be tempted.

4. Weave as much or as little as you want but be sure to KEEP BUYING!

Two more yummy sites to look at
