Yarn Stash Post - April 2007

Okay, here is the yarn I found last weekend:

First bag: $0.99. Yellow tags 50% off. Five balls of *something*, in a dark rose color. I'm not sure what material, I haven't had a chance to figure it out yet. Probably acrylic? Yarn Harlot tells how to figure out what type of material in her book Knitting Rules : The Yarn Harlot's Bag of Knitting Tricks. From memory, acrylic burns, but wool doesn't. One ball of light pink acrylic, and one ball of Aunt Lydia's Baby Denim 75% cotton, 25% acrylic in light pink. The Aunt Lydia's retails for $4.99 at JoAnn's.
Second bag: $2.99. Six balls of "Made in France" Ungar Fluffy. 100% Acrylic. 1 3/4 ounce, 156 yards per ball.
Third bag: $3.99. 1 skein Bernat So Soft in a cream color. One skein Red Heart Super Saver Navy Blue. And two skeins of Red Heart Baby white sport.
Fourth bag: $2.99. 7 skeins of Lion Chenille. 100% acrylic. Brown. 1.4 ounces and 87 yards per skein. I believe this is a discontinued item of Lion Brand's.
Today I found a really cool, old, nearly antique iron. $10 from a yard sale. It's heavy, by Sunbeam and pink. I can't wait to try it out. But now it's bedtime.

Until next time.
