| The first thing I do, honestly, is cast my eye around to see if anyone else has spotted the particular yarn. At the LYS, sometime customers take a skein to the book section so they can match it up with a suitable pattern. |

That could look suspicious! Especially if you then carted it off to the book section! I hope that if they do not buy the yarn, they put it back.

At my favorite LYS I will look at the yarn, feel it and put it aside to look at even more yarn later on. I usually have a pattern in mind while I'm looking. The first thing I look at are all the colors and all the yarn in the store. If the yarn goes with the pattern I have in mind, I will buy it OR I will buy it anyway and save it for later. At my favorite Alpaca Farm Store, I just look at all the beautiful colors of the yarn, make a mental picture of where everything is and then feel the yarn, put it aside and continue looking. Since I cannot resist Alpaca yarn, I will buy it whenever I'm at the shop, save the yarn until I find a pattern or pattern stitch for it and design my own knitted item with it. I can spend at 1-2 hours doing this.

At my FYS the basket of odd balls is right at the base of the round table when you come up the stairs from outside. I am always head down and going 60 mph toward that basket after greeting the owner.

Customers are generally very good about putting yarn back that they don't intend to purchase. It's a small shop and the owner knows all the regulars. |
