Yarn Sale/Yard Sale
KatieOn Saturday morning, I hit up a yarn sale that the Berea Weaver's Guild held. A woman in our community, a retired Berea College art professor and fiber artist, died recently and this was largely her yarn. Boxes and boxes of yarn were for sale- just $2.00 a pound. Like the fiber artist's auction that Laura and I went to last year, it was sobering to shop from this woman's supplies. But it also feels really good to own a few things that were in her studio.
There were also some finished goods donated by other members, odd bits and projects that were never finished, vacation souvenirs, and swatches.
I am not a weaver, but of course managed to find some things to buy.
And in my recently pared-down and culled studio, it is nice to have an infusion of new materials.

Hi Katie and Laura,
Just came across your site. What a nice surprise to see the article about Sally Wilkerson yarn sale at my house. Beautiful pictures and sweet comments of the sale. I like to think Sally is smiling down on all of us ,enjoying all this creativity bubbling out,simply by the sale of her yarn. Her creativity lives on in all of us that have an ounce of her yarn.
