Baker's Twine

CDMay2006

Hi, lurker here... I occasionally check out this board, but i found a great deal on baker's twine.  I'm sure you crafty ladies already know about it, but just in case...

I looked for it last year, but everyone was sold out or it was only available in tiny spools.  I wanted to use it for wrapping gifts.  Instead i used a chunky red synthetic yarn.  It looked really nice (IMO), but couldn't be tied tightly b/c it would break.  So this year i remembered to check for the twine early, and i found it in a bunch of places, but the best price (and in stock) is  http://www.wesellcoffee.com/page79.html

I actually ended up buying it elsewhere b/c i don't need that much but if i wasn't unemployed i would have gotten it here since it costs 1/4 what that amount would cost from amazon sellers (including shipping!).   Anyway, i hope this is helpful

ETA: This is another good deal:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/73594798/peppermint-red-and-white-bakers-twine-75?ref=sr_gallery_38&ga_includes%5B0%5D=tags&ga_search_query=bakers+twine+spool&ga_page=3&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=

Uhm, so this probably sounds like i'm a vendor, but really i'm not.  Just an out-of-practice crafter, i promise!  I just spend a looong time comparing prices, shipping costs, and lengths/weights and i thought others could benefit from my math.

Plus, you can make as much as needed, in different colors, etc
