Lots of bags with mostly wool yarns all in orig bags with 10 skeins and the
prices were 50 cents per skein......several caught my eye but I have never seen the brand or type. The first is a fingering/sock weight with Bernat and Boucle' de Laine and Master Dyed on the label also one ounce and 72% wool and 28% Antron Nylon, the color is Dawn Blue and it has a sheen to it. Is this sock yarn.......my friend that bought 15 skeins thinks it would make a pretty lace type shawl. I bought a bag of 10 with this one the label....Jolie 90% wool 10% Rhovyl-Vinyon made in Belgium 50 grams 120 yards and also Exclusively made for Pauline Denham Yarns, Inc...color is a very pretty cream and it feels nice to the touch. Oh and the neatest thing is there is a blue metal clamp thingy atch to the end of the yarn were you pull it from the center. Anyway I thought I post this an see if this is old yarn. The lady having the sale said she bought it from an estate sale and the orig owner had boxes full of yarn....no patterns or needles were left...drats! TIA Donna |

I scored at my Salvation Army last week. Some Knitpicks cotton blend worsted (soooo soft!) and a hand dyed skein of their fingering yarn. A $25 value for $4. They had some nice NZ wool, 5 or 6 skeins for $2.65, that I'm going to check and see if it's still there. They had a pack of mohair too, but really wasn't interested in it. sue |

Hi Donna, what a super find! Pauline Denham yarns are vintage and Bernat now has it's head office in Canada. I vaguely remember Bernat being in a European country when I was quite little - a long time ago. http://www.vintageknits.com/yarncharts.html is a site that lists vintage yarns. They also give an e-mail address for you to contact them if the particular yarn/wool is not listed there. I'm sure they'd be delighted to hear from you and would add the names of your finds to the list, or be able to give you more information on what you bought.

Another interesting note is there is no stitch gauge on either one. |

Oh thanks for that link, there is lots of interesting info and the sock type yarn is listed but the fiber content is off by 1 percent, and the other yarn [Jolie] is not listed.....I will take some pictures of the yarn and label info and send to the site owner.
