Ł2.50 each! I could only carry two as they are so big but there was a dark magenta pink that I will be going back for on Saturday if there is any left! this is really pretty bushed acrylic with a really soft fluff, the pink one has rasberry and pale pink and the blue has sky blue and navy blue in it! if I had been with hubs I would have brought more! as it was, these were hard work lugging back home on the bus! best Ł5.00 I have spent in ages! I have ordered myself a yarn winder, that winds nice shaped ball of yarn that have flat abottoms and pull from the middle and don't roll around the floor when you use them! I shall be winding some smaller balls of each to make it easier to use, these take up to much room and are not very portable!

I usually say i will pay a bit extra if i want something and cannot carry it there and then? I once got a very large cone of Arran wool, that made Jake 3 Arran jumpers and me an Arran cardy, all for Ł3! ( Jake was a tidler at the time but still it made 3 22-24" chest). Hugs Poppy
