You can spend a lot for yarn or not a whole lot, depending on what materials the yarn is made of, as well as where it is sold and whether there is a high demand for the yarn based on external factors such as the seller is suddenly very popular among knitters. This happens more often than you might expect!
Typically a big-box store like Walmart will sell the poorest quality yarns, composed of acrylic and other man-made fibers.
Craft stores like Michael's and A.C. Moore sell better quality but still very reasonably priced yarns, even some that are 100% wool or 100% cotton or even organic fibers.
Local yarn stores typically sell yarns that are a level or two of quality up from craft stores, for somewhat higher prices, but you also can typically ask questions about the yarn, get limited help from the staff for free, or even take classes there.
Online retailers carry the entire spectrum of prices for all levels of quality yarns, from super high quality exotic fibers like yak and cashmere, all the way down to acrylic yarns.
