Nine balls worth of sock yarn in exactly the color I wanted for the boys, all for a bargain price of $5.99 - not each, %5.99 for all 9 balls. That will make a whole lotta socks. There was quite a bit of yarn at this store - the Sally Ann on North Road, in case anyone is from that area. It was hard to pick which to bring home, but I settled on the sock yarn and these.
I wonder if Vancouverites realize just how rainy it is there. That may seem like a silly question but I lived there for 19 years - half my life- and if you had asked me I would have thought that yes, it is rainy but nothing too out of the ordinary. Now that I have spent some years in other places I find it difficult to imagine that I was ever able to tolerate the rain for so long. Cuz really, there is rain....and then there is Lower Mainland rain. You know?

Hey, thanks for the tip. That Sally Ann is just a bit away from me but I have never been in it - it's just an awkward parking lot to get into somehow....
Hi Hornblower
Yes, it is an awkward parking lot - and we were driving a super-cab, extended box, big barn of a work truck. ;-) If you do go there, the yarn is in a separate room in the back. They also had some big cones of yarn but I couldn't tell what the fibres were. The other things in the store seem kind of high priced - I wonder if SA is going the way of Value Village, getting fairly high-priced for second hand stuff.
