My mother found some vintage-y acrylic yarn at a yard sale. (Thanks, Mom!) I'm sure I'll find a use for it, and in the meantime, I love looking at the old wrappers. The colors and fonts! (Mainly the fonts...)
They're all either "Orlon" or "Acrilon". Do modern acrylic yarns go by such retrolicious names? I think not. And it's marked as "mothproof"! I've never noticed that on the new acrylic yarns I've bought. Some of the Sayelle brand yarn is labeled "FOR SWEATERS, AFGHANS & FASHION ACCESSORIES". (Only under penalty of law dare ye use it for anything else. Sincerely, the Yarn Patrol.)
I'm not sure how old this yarn really is, but some of it's old enough to stand out and feel interestingly different.
(TG&Y? Haven't thought about that place in a while...)
