i know my birthday is, like, months away. but for real. if anyone really feels like splurging on me, a skein of yarn from here would be awesome. for those of you who have no idea about buying yarn and what may or may not be too expensive, know that most of the pretty decent yarn you can get (and a lot of what i usually get) from, for example, lion brand, usually goes from anywhere between $3 and $10. With the amount of yarn from one skein, I can probably make on scarf. I tend to like scarfs on the longer side, so more often than not, I'm using two skeins of yarn. So anyway, at the most, im spending MAX $20 for a scarf. MAX. As I'm thinking about it, I don't think I've ever actually spent that much on a yarn.

At this place, however - http://materialwhirled.com/index.html - an average skein of yarn, that i could use for one scarf or one hat, or maybe a complete set of gloves (ive never tried gloves, so i dont know), or all the accents on the hems of a sweater or jacket, averages around $35. Some of them are almost $50. Definitely they seem worth the price, because they are gorgeous yarns, and many of them have beads or flowers or bows or other type things plied in with the main thread, but still.

For example, this yarn, which im seriously loving: http://www.materialwhirled.com/A6.htm - called nuaghty girl. or this one: http://www.materialwhirled.com/A6.htm - called ladybug stew. so pretty! i am seriously into the expensive yarns, its too bad that i could never really make this a lucrative business, or even a lucrative side project. if i spend 50 on a scarf, well, i'd have to at least charge that much just to make the money back, and then id add on money for the labor. let's pretend i just add on 10.. who really wants to pay 60 for a scarf?
