When Does Yarn Go On Sale?

My mom LOVES to crochet and make scarves for the entire family.

So much so that I have enough scarves to wear a different one each day of winter, or so it feels.

So when writing this article, I asked her where she buys her yarn, and she said, “Only when it’s on sale at Hobby Lobby”.

I then asked her how she knows when it’s on sale, and she said, “from following my friends at r/Crochet on Reddit“.

She said members always “drop the knowledge” on when yarn is about to go on sale and their insider tips save her 75%.

On a side-note, I still can’t believe my mom has the Reddit app on her iPhone, but it’s obviously saving her money, so more power to her.
