“needles/yarn after cheap”

That’s a lie. My wife is into knitting and crochet, I’ve seen $300 purchases for yarn only, for just one dress. Not to mention $50-100 needles or swifts or yarn caking tools

true. but I wanted to focus on the cost of entry. not the cost ceiling.

I could walk into a store and get all the materials/tools needed to make a scarf for about 10$. although I could if I wanted to, get expensive yarn and pay 10x or more.

I got caught up on that too.

I don’t do anything with yarn, but will sometimes use fabric to make puppets and other toys with my kid.

Even buying the cheapest fabric from the lowest priced outlets (cheaper than even the random alphabet soup brands on amazon) in bulk, it adds up so fast when you’re actually creating things!
