Lady Galt Kroy?
So….a few months ago, when I was over at Mum & Dad’s place, Mum is somehow reminded that I like to knit socks. So she tells me to come downstairs and proceeds to dig a couple of balls of sock yarn out of her small stash (she also gave me about 12 small balls of some other sort of wool, which I am procrastinating on deciding what to do with).
My reaction was to look at the ball band, which is a decidedly 70’s style of design, and say “Wow, Mum…how long have you had these? They look vintage!”
Her response? “They’re not that old”.
Now…I don’t think my Mum realizes how long she hoards things. I’m pretty sure she likely bought these balls of yarn when they were new. She won’t admit to me (or maybe she doesn’t remember) when that was. The only thing I can find online is that Lady Galt Kroy, 3-ply, 85% wool, 15% nylon….are “vintage”.
What *I* want to know is…..HOW OLD IS THIS YARN?!
I’m thinking I may use one of the patterns from Knitting Vintage Socks on these puppies….
