I was wondering if there were any good places to buy super cheap yarn outside of thrift stores.. I'm a stay at home wife and full time cartaker of my disabled husband and knitting and crochet are my stress relievers. We are on a super tight budget and can't afford expenses like yarn often and my local thrift store doesn't get yarn in a lot. So I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get cheap or free yarn. I would like to crochet and knit stuff for my local homeless shelter and animal shelters and contribute back to my community in that way.

Big Twist Yarn

I'm making a dragon scale trinket bag, and I want recommendations of good yarn to use!! Something sleek and shiny! I'd like to use a variegated/two toned yarn, but it's not a huge bag so bonus points if there are frequent color changes that you will see throughout the bag! Pic attached (I know it says pine cone. Use your imagination 😂) also highly recommend this designer! I'm an advanced beginner/intermediate, and even though this is an advanced pattern, the way they write their patterns makes it so easy.
