Today I was in a part of town I never have before.

I saw a store JUST for badminton.

There are lots of those. Many people knit.

    yep, I have two in the family, it just didn't seem like there could be enough knitter-foot-traffic to keep the place open selling $4 spools of yarn

    That's because the skeins are $40.

    It's been a long time since I've bought a skein of yarn, but surely one can get one for less than that.

    hits Amazon

    It looks like on Amazon, they start at about $4 individually. If you get a pack, it goes under $1/skein.

    Those brick-and-mortar stores much have a pretty substantial markup, unless we're talking premium yarn of some sort.
