Scored Yarn!


My younger son's neighbor was going to throw away some yarn.  DS brought it home to me.  Two skeins cones are ww and 1 skein cone is thread. I did the burn test and it's synthetic and that's ok with me.  Unfortunately, it's a bit on the dusty side so I'm having to wash it before using.  To do this, I'm winding it into hanks on the back of a chair and then tying with small bits of yarn to keep it from becoming a big knot.  Before it goes into the machine I'll put the yarn in lingerie laundry bags. Whew, a lot of work but get this, IT'S FREE YARN!  Can you tell I'm excited? I love bargains!
