Garage Sale Find: Yarn

May 13th, 2009 in Behind the Scenes
By Susanne Woods

I’ve posted about my Saturday garage sale hunt obsession before so I thought I would start a weekly entry of what treasures I found….

Guess What’s inside?

It’s like a box of candy…one red skein is missing, but it’s almost too darn yummy to even think of using any of them.

There are 120 of them (okay 119) and I also found the booklet from 1971 that advertised these promotional boxes of new wool skeins for $40!

Garage sale price…$5 for the box.

I think I’d just hang it on the wall as a work of art — and rearrange the colors every once in a while to keep it “fresh”!

Yes, I’m jealous and I don’t crochet or knit. Just love the colors. Lucky, you.
