Description

The listing, 4 skein/cake yarn lot - Windsor Blue and mixed colors has ended.

A lot of 4 different 4-ply yarns, from a smoke and pet-free home.

Free US shipping, includes tracking/Delivery Confirmation for those within the 50 states; sorry complimentary tracking is unavailable to those at military posts.

From largest to smallest...

Red Heat Classic Windsor Blue (0808), some used? It is 3.45oz/98 g without the wrapper. More information is available from Red Heart here for this colorway, but it is no longer made in the "Classic" 3oz size in this color;

This skein seems lighter and more of a slate color than the swatch above, but that may just be my monitor.

The next skein is also factory wrapped in shape, but without a wrapper. It is 2.45 oz/70g and is a 3 to 1 ratio of a minty green and light pink.

The next two I wrapped using my yarn ball winder into cakes; the pink/blue is 1.10 oz/32g, also with a 3 to 1 ration of light pink to medium blue. The last ball is 1.05 oz/30g of a painted look of peach, light blue, and a purple formed between the two. Both these balls seem a little bit lighter than worsted weight, but not quite light enough to call sport weight.

Questions? Please ask!

I have more yarns I plan to list and have listed; lovely things I buy and trade for that I think I have plans to make into wonderful things; but are simply sitting here taunting me! I would much rather share them and get them to good homes. Thanks for viewing.

Acrylic or acrylic/wool blend?

Great question! Looking all acrylic (the Red Heart definitely) - I will take a snip of each of the rest and test to see how they react to flame tonight and stop back with my results!

By my basic "DOES IT MELT?" experiment I think they are all acrylic. I accidentally lit the one on fire seeing how "much melt" it would make and from what I read, wool shouldn't do that! They seem to all melt before burning, and the flaming one stunk like plastic rather than hair (no expert here, just read it online before trying it out). Glad I left the scented candle lit!

Right on! Thank you for doing that!
