My wife has enlisted friends to help me sell her yarn stash if she dies before me. There’s probably 10 large worth of high value lines sitting in bins around me. Her work includes a $200/month yarn shop stipend, and has for many years now.
Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive

ok but that’s in you for getting expensive yarn.

Yep. Often when I wear a new jumper or whatever around people who know I knit, I get asked ‘oh, that’s pretty, did you make it?’
Lol no, that would have cost me like 5 times more. I couldn’t afford to make it myself.

As someone who owns a spinning wheel, you can dye and spin yarn at home to make the money pit even wider and deeper!
