I thought I'd post more pics of the vintage embroidery thread haul I purchased so you can see how nice and clean this lot is, Theo. Here's the pile of J.P. Coats variegated thread, along with two skeins of Iris.
Prism variegated thread, which I've seen in kits to make friendship bracelets.
Anchor embroidery floss, which is made in India.
DMC embroidery floss from France, my favorite embroidery thread brand.
AI cross stitch thread.
Two project thread holders, and the handful of unlabeled skeins in the lot (these were leftover from craft kits, I think.)
The four oldest skeins, a very vintage Clark's floss, Royal Moulin floss, and two hanks of wool embroidery thread.
The spool of fine metallic gold thread.
All of the DMC floss on cards fit nicely into an old Christmas tin.

Apparently, Blogger isn't working this morning for me. Those colors are lovely! I'm having a terrible time with this quilt for Thing 2. So far, I've broken the knot three times while trying to end what I've done and I'm getting tired of picking all of my work apart and having to redo it. I might just end up doing all the leaves for now so I have something to give her at the shower and then finishing it up. My osteoarthritis in my wrists have taken a turn and I can't seem to manipulate anything at all. I'm dropping silverware when I wash it (dishwasher broke weeks ago) I can't seem to type without hitting all the wrong keys...I might have taken on more than I should have here.
I took a chance and bought a lot of vintage floss. I got some great colors. I'm just afraid I won't be able to use them now :(
