In public, no less!

Depends. Does it smell like burning hair, burning paper, or non-chemical burning something? Lyocel/tencel is a wood product and smells like burning paper, ditto cotton. If it smelled like hair it'll have at least some wool or mohair content to it. Is there no label at all inside the cone?

Good plan.

The dollar stores here only ever have off-brand weird-ass nylon for cheap. I'm jealous ;D

Yep, in public! And it was fun!

to it. Is there no label at all inside the cone?

I think it smelled like hair. No label, except for the price.

Of course, I'll measure it carefully beforehand. I have the swatch knitted up already. I'll take a pic of it and post it on my Yahoo Album.

I'm jealous ;D

Welllllllllllll, Value Village isn't a dollar store. =8>D This is all recycled stuff. The weird thing is, even though there are at least 4 of these stores in Winnipeg, it seems that it's one store in particular that gets the yarn worth buying. And lots of times when I look in the section where they display the yarn, there's nothing that interests me. Of course there's also lots of bags with acrylic yarn or thin crochet cotton in them, but that's not what I'm looking for. For instance today, there were also 4 other cones of yarn, but it was very fine and I didn't think I'd use it.

I remember last year at the same store, I went absolutely bonkers and almost filled a shopping cart with hanks and hanks of wool (probably worsted weight) in many colours. I've used some of it for felting slippers and bags, but I still have tons of it in a tote. I'm hopeless around yarn..... I am truly the living embodiment of S.A.B.L.E. (stash acquisition beyond life expectancy). I probably need to have a note in my will about distributing all this yarn. (laugh).

No way. I'm embarassed by my stash. I've got 10 sweaters' worth of WoolPak, alone. The quantity of Cascade is at least as large, and I stocked up on Nashua alpaca/wool sportweight when my LYS had a big sale in the spring. I have a 40-gallon tote that is nothing but hairy mohair, and another that's nothing but sock yarn. Then there are the two 40-gallon totes full of lace yarn, and the handspun...

And let's not get started on my spinning fiber!

I did that. Seriously. I put the stash and the equipment in my will. When I croak my will contains instructions for my friend the shepherd and have her dispose of the stuff on behalf of my estate. If she dies before me (possible, as she's older and has family history to contend with) I'll change my will. She'd actually like to get some of my stash for her own use :D

(giggle) I bow to your superiority!! You probably do have more stash. Ain't that great ??? (big evil grin). And, BTW, I have uploaded that picture of the swatch from the mystery yarn I bought yesterday. I'll be washing it today to see what happens. Go here to have a look:

In case of too-close encounters, it would be a good idea to add a codicil to the will that says "if she dies first, then is in charge of disposing of the stash."

Wow, Shelagh! That was fabulous! I rarely find wool in VV, unfortunately.

Higs, Kather> My friend & I went into town today to troll our favourite Value

Thank you Mirjam & Katherine! I still have to decide what to make with them.....
