Lookie what I got this afternoon! A buttload of red acrylic, LOL. But quite a bit of 100% wool and some mohair and some I can't identify.

What language is this? I think it's mohair.

One more pic. These are really firm, heavy balls. There's almost 10 lbs of it in lots of colors. It's not really twisted, it's like 4 threads and they sort of lay flat...? I tried snapping a closeup but it was all flash and it's dark here now so I doubt I can get a better shot. I don't know what it's for.

I think I better learn to knit faster or work on crochet, lol...

:bounce: oh wow, that is so great! What a blast going thru all that yarn. Your so lucky. I love the colors.

Very cool :thumbsup: Makes you wonder why someone had all that yarn??

Michelle Congrats on the haul! I'd be in hog heaven :)

LOL You should see my grandmothers yarn stash!! Its outrageous! Too bad most of its acrylic in colors I will never use. She did tell me today though, that she had some little bundles of wool. Somewhere. She just had to find them. She's a certified card carrying pack rat. I may never see them ~ :D

What a score!

I've given away tons of stuff on freecycle - mostly acrylic! lol Great score!

Hey mama! If you want to send some of it my way, I will knit you some easy scarves and such. I am in DE -- not so far from PA.

Lol right after I typed that I remembered that my grandmother literally had a whole room in her attic FULL of yarn. I should have taken a picture before we got rid of it all It was all pretty much the cheapo red heart stuff and was at least 30 years old and smelllllllllllled so we had to chuck it all.

Awesome! I love freecycle!

The foreign one looks like it's in Arabic, maybe Hebrew? Try asking ToHaNi/Tali...

Suh-weet! You're gonna have some fun with that stash.


I think the label is in hebrew.
