I love my LYS. Great owner, great selection, helpful, everything anyone could want in an LYS. This isn't their fault at all but I bought a skein of yarn today and started winding it when I got home. It seemed to be tied a bit tight and when I started winding I realized that all but one of the plies was broken in a fgew places. I should have stopped at the first one but I decided to try to make it work. Well when I got to the 3rd and I saw another one about a yard down I realized it isn't going to work. I already know I'm going to try to take it back tomorow but I don't know if they will take it since they (understandably) don't take skeins that have been wound.
Do you think they will?

I think they will. The "no returns on wound skeins" from my own experience, applies to perfectly good balls of yarn. In your case it is obviously some sort of manufacturing defect and you would have discovered it whilst knitting and no doubt brought it back anyway. I'd be stunned if they said no.

Depends on where you got it. If it was Brenda's, make sure you talk to Brenda, herself, and make sure that she knows that the skein is defective, not just that you don't like it. I don't know if she'll give you a refund, but she'll almost certainly let you exchange it or give you a store credit.

Yes it was Brenda's, I would be more than happy to exchange it straight across for a non defective skein. It was Louet Gems in a deep plum purple, I also got a skein of off white and it was fine. I hope it was just the one skein, it's for a christmas gift and the color is perfect, the yarn is soft and lofty, perfect for what I want to do with it. I'm crossing my fingers that all will be fine. I'm just frustrated. I'm going back at lunch time, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Brenda always gives exchanges in 30 days, so especially if the skein is defective, you shouldn't have a problem.

Absolutely. When I read about bad experiences people have had in other yarn stores I realize how fortunate I am to have Uniquities and Brenda, the wonderful LYSO. It's similar to how I feel when people tell horror stories about their mothers. I call mine up and tell her how much I appreciate her. Hmmm. Maybe I need to visit Brenda just to tell her how much I like her store and her attitude. And maybe just check out the yarn......

Glad to know that I'm right at least once in a while...
