I happen to exclaim "oh yummy" or "yum!" when I see particularly eye appealing yarn. can't help it--it sure is eye candy!  And don't some of the names for yarn sound so scrumdiddlyumptious? Makes my imagination fire up to think about the next project.

My usual comments when shopping with others is "Holy crap look at this color/feel how soft! Here poke it!" or "EW! This is the ugliest/nastiest feeling yarn I've ever seen! Poke it!"
If I'm by mysef I'm usually just quiet, migfht here an OOH though

When I encounter an admirable yarn alot of sighing and heavy petting occurs.

I sort of stand still and take it all in. Some yarns are quite stunning in their look, colors and softness. Savor the moment, you know? I don't get out much.  hahaha

Ooohhh, that's so soft! Feel that! (shoves yarn in direction of fellow shopper and hopes they don't think I've lost my mind...)
Life is an open book test. Finding which book, though...

Since I am Norwegian, I say "Ufta" a lot. When I see an incredible yarn, I call it an "ufta moment".

I tend to describe anything that tickles more than one of my senses as "delicious". Which drives my eldest son mad...lol! His "rule" is "if you can EAT it you can call it 'delicious'...if you are KNITTING with it it can't be 'delicious'". He's a funny child with a lot of personal rules. I have no idea where he came from...

"ohmigawd!"
"ooooh!"
"holy s--t!"
"uhm, WOW."
And I sometimes refer to new purchases as "gorgeous num nums." As in, "oooh, look at all my gorgeous num nums!"

| I have been known to squeal when spotting yarn. Lots of "ohhh's" and "ahhh's" usually follow. I'm more of a "groper" than an "exclaimer"! |

| When I spot a particularly yummy yarn I talk to it. "Hello, aren't you pretty. How'd you like to come with me?" |

I was just cleaning out some old boxes and ran into 2 1/2 skeins of mystery yarn (I think it was sent by my mom and inadvertently buried). My reaction? An involuntary "Hello!"

| I zero in on it and the rest of the world just sort of disappears. I touch it with the back of my fingers. Then I ignore it for a bit. It leaves the shop with me if I go back for it two more times. |
