Wool on ice ~

Suzie found a treasure while going through her mom's housewares this past month, as her mom moved into a smaller place. Suzie knows I knit, so she brought the treasure to me.


At first glance, I see that it is fingering weight wool from Edinburgh, Scotland. Its not as soft as alpaca or merino, but is not scratchy. There are six hanks...Suzie said they were packaged with fabric and buttons, but Suzie pitched those and just kept the wool.


The tags have no gauge, or yardage.



Just the weight....In searching the web, I found this interesting post on this yarn.... and I promptly put the wool in our freezer, just in case there are any little beasties that have made homes in this yarn...not sure what to do with this yarn....
