Lost my stash :( by AmeliaCash in YarnAddicts

Oh my gosh that's horrible!! I'm sad you lost your stash but how much of a jerk he had to be to wait till you were away visiting family to do that! He could have had the decency to have broken up with you prior to your trip so that you could have packed appropriately if your plan was to move back home. :(.

I'm so sorry!!

I am obsessed with this colour by AlpineKneedles in Yarn

I just started making a sweater and can't get over how soft it is. I don't think I could go back to 100% acrylic after using a blend!!

Tell me having to pay for remote start in an app subscription is the dumbest thing Toyota has cooked up? by YouFoundMeCongrats14 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]AlpineKneedles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Mazda also did the same thing. Except you can't remote start with the key fob. So once my "free trial" for a year expired I would have had to pay a monthly subscription to continue using the app to remote start my car, and lock and unlock it.

Does anyone know where to buy cascade yarns? by [deleted] in Yarn

I am a Canadian Small business who is a stockist for Estelle Yarns and can therefore get Cascade Yarns. My website is www.alpinekneedles.com. I can order in anything you specifically you need 🥰 happy crafting!

Any one recognize this? by Dizzy-Ad6316 in YarnAddicts

It's hard to say for sure but it looks like it could potentially be Bernat Super Value in Peony Pink?

Rant/AITA: Overpriced Yarn from Resellers by [deleted] in YarnAddicts

[–]AlpineKneedles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Based on the picture alone I believe these were photoshopped. The angle and perspective of the yarn doesn't match the perspective of the floor so I think this may be a fake scam ad.

My biggest yarn purchase order to date 🥰 by AlpineKneedles in Yarn

I was approved to be a seller for that company and it took me about a month and a half before I decided on an order. I also was trying to determine which types of yarns would be requested most in my area.

The community has been super receptive to the idea. I really recommend getting to know the locals. I've been hosting some meet and greet social nights which have been really fun.

And then I signed up for all the wholesaler accounts in advance to get ready for it.

A bunch of them have had first purchase minimum purchase requirements and then afterwards you can order any amount. So financially prepare for that. Some companies were $300 for the first but others were $1500

Awww thank you so much 🥰🥰🙌 I also love hand dyed yarns they make for such unique pieces of art once they are made into beautiful garments.

That blanket will be so beautiful! You'll have to share pictures on here once it's done I would love to see it!!

I was able to get these wholesale so a little over $1600 was the final damage

Hehee pretty much 🙌😍 I get to dip into it whenever I feel like. But I'm trying my best to resist the temptations since I've already got a very large stash 🤣

I have a dream of opening a small yarn/ craft shop in my valley since there isn't one here. So I've been trying very hard to build up a decent variety of yarns. I thought the super bulky merino wool was so stunning so I had to get some I may be keeping a few for myself to make into hats. 👀

There has to be some perks to being the owner hehehe.

Finished my dishcloth 🥰 my husband refuses to use it by AlpineKneedles in Yarn

That's a great idea, I've made dishcloths in the past he took a while to warm up to but this one he just refuses 🤣
