Remember a time when department stores still had craft departments? Heck even when all the discount stores had craft departments- now the only discount store with a craft department (if lucky enough to not be a remodeled one) is Walmart. In fact I still look for the arts and crafts department at my local Kmart even though it’s been gone for many years.

So all of these vintage yarns were found at my local goodwill- heck some might still be there. There are fine examples from Sears, Kmart, Grants & Twin Fair.
