I save them and use the smooth ones to sew seams when a project yarn is too weird - I have smooth yarns in just about every shade now! Plus, you get the money back for the subscription in yarn vouchers (easily used by me, I`m also in the "Elann multiple $50 free yarn club". It really depends on how much yarn you buy from Elann, but for me the sample subscription a no-brainer. Hope this helps!]]> Tue, 17 Jun 2003 07:12:43 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=133142 I just started my second year of the sample skein subscription and I think it is worthwhile even though it has gone up in price since last year. Having the actual skein to try out has saved me many times from purchases that I would have regretted later; so in the long run I think it has actually saved me money! Also, if the sample is "ample" :-), I can actually do a gauge swatch for the pattern I`m considering and see if it would work out. The only problem is I spend too much of my precious knitting time knitting samples and dreaming about possibilities; takes time away from the current WIP, which might have reached a troublesome point!]]> Sun, 15 Jun 2003 22:24:13 GMT http://www.elann.com/Commerce.web/forums/messages.aspx?TopicID=133142 I would like to hear from some folks who have selected this option. I already get the newsletter, but am curious as to this possibility...occasionally the yarns don`t "feel" like they look, but the opportunity to try them out before they hit the net is a big draw, too...Any comments?
