Sometimes when you're thrifting yarn online you have very little information to go on. Here's a lot described as "Collection Of Mixed Yarn." This listing described it as used, and weighing approximately 7.6 lbs. That's all the facts I had about it other than the pics.
None of the pics show labels, or a clear picture of how much yarn is in the lot. This is a real roll of the dice lot.
They just took random shots of the pile, seems like.
Still, there are some clues as to the value here if you look closely.
I see at least twenty different skeins of yarn. In the first pic the white skein at the middle right has multicolor sequins woven into it. It also looks like a sashay type yarn. While much of the rest of the yarn appears to be acrylic, I see some roving style, bulky, and some tweedy looking twisted fibers.
Everything appears very clean in the pics. Thyat suggests that someone valued and took good care of this yarn.
Finally, let's do some math. If the lot weighs 7.6 pounds, that is approximately 121.6 ounces. If all the skeins are 3.5 ounces you're looking at over 34 skeins of yarn, but let's average it out to some smaller and larger and make the skeins an average of 5 ounces. That's still over 24 skeins of yarn.
While this lot is a true gamble, and I don't know anything for sure other than what I see in the pics, I paid only $9.99 for it. Stay tuned to the blog and I'll show you what I got when it arrives.
