#second hand yarn

Also found these gigantic cones of thread at a charity shop for five euros a piece. Basket for scale. Dare not guess how many meters is on each. The tread is quite thin, but I can always double it. Might be able to pull from the middle and the outside of these cones at the same time. And the colors looks really nice together I think. Top left pic is the most true to color.

Why have fairy godmothers when you can have fairy yarnmothers?

Was just gifted this pile of weird and wonderful yarn. The dark brown is a standard size ball of crochet yarn. The small yellow ball is a softer cotton yarn, but also fairly standard. The big orange skeins are like really thin crochet yarn or something. Will be a drag to wind but it's a thickness and quality of yarn that I don't already have, which is nice. The big cones are nice and shiny thin 2 ply yarn with some texture and thickness variation. Must be many hundreds of meters on each cone! Excited to make some crochet ferns with the greenish shade! Otherwise no idea what I'm gonna do with it all, but the more odd yarn I have the less restricted I feel. And the colors are really nice too, very 70s. Love those warm and usually more muted yellow/orange/green/brown shades! I often feel like I can't find the shades I want in yarn stores now, so gotta love vintage yarn.
