Thanks for the link.
Interesting concept. A yarn shop becomes a quasi-quilting store by having the customers provide the inventory.
Around 4 yards of fabric weighs a pound.
So the shop is buying your fabric for $1.50/yard, resulting in a $3.50 gross profit per yard for them.
Here's the catch though. If I had fabric I was willing to sell for $1.50/yard, I wouldn't want to be buying the same type for $5/yard.
But I guess for others it would be good opportunity if they have no other outlet to sell. Or to buy.
But, still, a very interesting concept.
I'd love to hear what other people who visited the shop have to say on the quality of the selection.
Of course, I'm 1000 miles away, so the point is moot. I'm still curious.
And thanks to bizybess for mentioning it in the first place. ;-)
