Hobby Lobby ROCKS!!!!!

I haven't shopped yarn in Hobby Lobby for years but made it in today.  After about 15 minutes, I wanted to SCREAM from the OVERLOAD!  I touched, and dreamed, and put back, and picked up, and staggered up and down the aisle in a frenzy.  I had an acrylic hook and some other gadgets in the basket but put them back for yarn.  I had to watch my spending because I was also shopping for eyes and noses, and air dry clay to make "dolls", and my daughter wanted a sketchbook.  I finally left with only three skeins (but giggly happy! what IS IT about yarn?!). 
1. Yarn Bee chinchilla in "fling", a variegated blue/purple with subtle sparkle a big chunky yarn, to make a critter for my daughter. 

2.  Patons Lace in Patina, a gray/tan/cream variegated, a skinny acrylic/mohair/wool for small bears. 

3. Yarn Bee Snowflake wool blend in Tangerine (variegated orange/pink/brown) for critters. 

Yes, I have a thing about variegated yarn!  I love color.  I have plenty of solids in my stash, hopefully something I can coordinate with these, but if not, no problem because these are scrumptious to the touch and for the eyes!
