Yarn has definitely gone up in price. Acrylic yarn is fine to get into knitting. However, if you'd like to try some better quality, it'll cost you. Knitting a blanket with cheap yarn would run about $100 (20 skeins, at a cost of $5 each).
People massively underestimate the price of these supplies.
My wife sews, and she has a small yarn collection as well, but never really got into knitting or crochet. I nearly had to contain my laughter when my mother told me that it would save us lots of money.
Sure. It costs more in fabric to make a shirt than to buy a shirt, and that’s not getting into machines. Look at us save!
Hobbies are for fun. Making things for yourself is, more often than not, crazy expensive.
