Have you think about buying cheap yarns and art crafts material while traveling ?
There is many places you can find cheap price.

In United State :
Michaels or Joann : where you can find cheap yarn, and many art crafts, shop is big as supermarket, don't forget to get flyer in the shop entrance, they have many coupons.

Singapore :
1. Spotlight, in dowtown Plaza Singapore, Yarn is not very cheap in this crafts shop, but it's like a supermarket as well, you can find many kinds of art crafts material.

2. Daiso, in Plaza Singapore 4/F, that is a $2 dollar shop, but there are many items of art crafts, price is the cheapest, so I will suggest to look for items in Daiso, then spolight.
3. People's Park , 1 min to China town MRT station, this is local market shop, you may find many art crafts items.

Hong Kong :
There is two place very cheaper for buy yarn, unbeliveable cheap !
1. Fa yuen start, close to MTR Prince Edward station. This street is a local market, must go for travelling, there is only one or two booth selling yarn, yarn only $35 -50 hk dollar for 10 x 40g. Beside of yarn, you may find other interesting thing in here. such as fruits, $30-50 fashion cloths, bags, toys.....
