I was a guest feature at Spinrite’s Yarn Mania that is held once a year. Yarn Mania is a really tame expression in comparison to the shoppers loading up Garbage Bags of yarn in the huge tent outside of the Factory Outlet in Listowel Ontario Canada. The Factory Outlet is within steps of the actual manufacturing of Bernat, Lily, and Patons Yarn Products.
- Spinrite, makers of Bernat & Patons, clears out yarn in mass once a year in Listowel Ontario Canada. It’s a feeding frenzy of yarn sales.
I’ve never been before but I heard it’s absolute yarn chaos. The tent is hopping mad as people stuff their bags. Some people stuff up to 10 Garbage Bags or more of yarn and are making several trips to the Car. Don’t worry though, they left their husbands behind as that is great use for two extra bags of yarn in the passenger seat!
The weather started off really great and then as the day progressed turned as the skies opened up and torrential rain fell. Thank goodness everything was protected by the tent. As we packed up our things, Diva Dan was drenched right to the bone. It hasn’t rained in our region for nearly 6 weeks and so this is very much welcome!
This was so much fun, I can’t wait for next year! The laughs, the sharing, and deals make for a wonderful day!
