i get ALL THIS for 1/2 off!!!

800 yards of Bucilla tapestry wool (rose color)
200 yards of Elsa Williams tapestry wool (very light lime color)
10 oz of Wonoco Fox brand "fuzzy knit" acrylic (wrappers look old...yarn in great shape)

also an extra long size I afghan hook!

yay!! been wanting some wool to try felting with sometime...and the fuzzy yarn looks pretty cool to use in granny squares paired with a dark regular yarn.

got this for about $8. i found an old pattern that went with the fuzzy yarn for a shawl/stole...looks like its from the 60's maybe early 70's. i know some of you are interested in vintage patterns so im going to post it on the boards next.

Lucky you......the thing about thrift store shopping is you never know what they're going to have and when they're going to have it, so you go often and look........you got lucky and did very well :hook
