Who doesn’t LOVE a good sale? Have you ever gone to Hobby Lobby when they’re having their annual yarn clearance? This is the first year I’ve gotten a LOT of yarn at Hobby Lobby! You certainly can’t beat the prices! I got 55 items (mostly yarn, with a bit of crochet thread and tatting supplies) for only $97.80 (before tax), $106.78 (with tax)! Wow! That’s a lot of yarn and a HUGE savings! In fact, it was a total of 74.4% off! If I had paid full price for these, I would have spent $381.95 (before sales tax)! That’s a savings of $284.15 (before sales tax)!!! Wow! That’s amazing!!!
I went to Hobby Lobby on 2 separate days, 6 days apart. The first day I went, I found some clearance yarn, but not as much as I’d seen on some recent YouTube videos I had watched. The second day I went, I found a LOT more clearance yarns! I’m so glad that I went back the next week to find more yarn on clearance (mostly 75% off)!
Most of the yarn I bought was the Hobby Lobby brand, Yarn Bee. I also got some Lion Brand, Lily and Lizbeth brands (Lizbeth is a crochet/tatting thread). I found some tatting shuttles and a picot gauge (for tatting) also on clearance!
I had so much fun buying this yarn at these great, low prices that I made a YouTube video showing all the yarns and colors that I got. I shared the regular prices and the clearance prices that I paid. I also shared the yarn weights, ounces, yards and fiber content of each yarn. While I have a good idea what I’ll crochet (or knit) with each of these yarns, I’m not quite sure what to make from some of them (I’ve never used some of them before). You can watch the YouTube video here to see all the wonderful yarns I got on clearance!
Have you been to a good yarn sale lately? What did you purchase and how much did you save?
Until next time!
Happy crocheting!

My local Hobby Lobby no longer does an annual yarn clearance. When I worked there the manager would RARELY allow us to mark down skeins because “it deceased profits”
Oh how I envy you Yanks, with all those chains like Hobby Lobby, Joann and Michael’s !! I would give my back teeth to be able to access big yarn shops that sell yarn at realistic prices ! 🙁
Downunder we pay through the nose because most of the stock comes from OS – and as you probably know, shipping costs are OBSCENE.
Had I a direct line to getting Lion Brand, I would be ecstatic.
Margie,
I didn’t think about people like yourself who live in other places where yarn is so expensive, especially when it has to be shipped there for obscene costs! I’m sorry that yarn is so expensive down under! These clearance prices were fantastic, so I couldn’t pass them up! I hope you find some yarn at unbelievably low prices very soon!
Happy crocheting,
Susan Lowman
