Does anyone know where I can find out the texture and type of different yarns? I went to an old used book barn today, and got a book of sweater patterns - they're beautiful, but the book I think is in Spanish. The name of it is "Katia" and unfortunately I don't know if that is the name of the...

Listening to all of you talk about your yarn stashes. I never told you about the GRAND deal I found one day at a garage sale. This lady had 15 bags of yarn, but the bags were about three feet in diameter and about four foot tall. Each bag was packed full of many different colors. About 150 skeins...
