Explore the World of Yarn Buying: Online vs. In-Store Shopping for Crafters

Good day, my dear crafters!

I want to wish you a great mood today!

Hope you’re safe and sound!

Your Yarn Shopping Preferences

Do you usually buy yarn online or in a mall (shops, I mean you go there to choose, touch and see the color as it is)?

In-Store Shopping

I personally enjoy going to stores myself, where I can physically see and feel the yarn.

There’s something special about selecting yarn in person, as you can appreciate the texture and colors better.

Online Shopping Trends

However, nowadays, I find myself buying yarn online more often. It offers great convenience, especially when I'm looking for specific types or brands that may not be available locally.

I buy at the stores. I've never bought onlit before. Hesitant about what I would get. I have got some from a lady, she actually gave it to me to help me out, recently from California and it's nice. Just what I needed to start a blanket. Now it's getting expensive to buy anywhere unless it's on sale.
