Gotta Love Free Shipping

When we moved into our house last year I was so excited to have a place for my yarn.  I thought I had a lot of yarn.  I was wrong! 

My first yarn barn.

With all the Black-Friday deals, I decided to order some new yarns. 

Even though we have a wonderful craft store near us, they don’t carry many different brands of yarn.

I have been crocheting afghans for Project Linus for 20 years. 

Project Linus is a non-profit organization that provides new handmade blankets to children in need.

This year I only donated 14 afghans. Most years I donate many more than that.  This was my reasoning to upgrade the yarn barn. 

Once I told Mark how much yarn I had ordered he immediately started calling around to find matching shelving for the yarn barn.  This wasn’t an easy tasks!  We ended up having to drive into San Antonio (1½ hours) for 2 boards and into Boerne (about an hour) for 2 boards.

The new shelving had to be cut-down a little.  Of course, Mark had to buy himself a new battery-powered saw to do the job properly.

The new shelving was quickly installed and I patiently waited for the UPS driver.

Finally, the big day arrived.

26 pounds of beautiful, colorful yarn.  And don't forget free shipping!

113 skeins of yarn.

I didn’t think I would have enough room even with my new shelving. 

I was wrong!

All new yarn.

Yarn I already had. 

I have room for more!
