I've been doing this for years now. You'd be surprised how much yarn you can get for practically nothing. I use the yarn to make blocks and blankets for charities, so every time my local thrift stores do bag sales, I'm right there. Plus, "murderring a sweater," as my friends have called it, can be very relaxing. It's especially fun to take the hideous ones that no one wants and turn them into something useful- very "green".

I just got some sweater yesterday and started frogging one of them, it's loads of fun and I got a silk/angora/nylon blend sweater to turn into yarn for two bucks. It's so cool I'm gonna start haunting my local thrift stores now. biggrin

They're having an annual super big garage sale in our area. I'll have to see if I can find some sweaters there. I found yarn at some garage sales last year for cheap. It would be nice to find some wool yarn though, which I think I'll have better luck finding in sweaters.
