Yesterday's show and tell of a yarn lot I got for a minimum bid also included some surprises, like these issues of Workbasket magazine that date back to 1955.
Four wooden crochet hooks that look exactly like a eight-hook set Knit Picks sells for $42.99.
I think the loveliest treasure was finding this vintage afghan crochet/knit kit still sealed.
All the yarn is still in there, too -- it's never been opened.
It's tough to estimate the value of this lot, but if I go with a resale price of $5.00 each just for the skeins of yarn I showed you yesterday it would be worth $190.00. I paid $9.99 for the whole lot. Savings: $180.01.
