Yep. Energy and transportation are what’s missing

Op shops sometimes have fabric, but you have to be lucky, and have the time/energy/transport to travel around.

Also the knowledge to figure out what you’re looking at. Op shops aren’t generally fond of you burn testing things!

My best op shop find ever was lots of yarn. I got there just as they were putting out what must have been a knitter’s whole stash, and included real wool yarn, in large quantities of matched lots. I bought enough to make four or five jumpers, at something like $1 a ball.
