 I found these little beauties at an estate auction.  Like a rainbow of color that you can't find today,  Each ball is full, or nearly full so you are getting a beautiful array of crochet cotton in various weights for your crochet, tatting, or knitting pleasure.  I have used this type of thinner thread to knit beaded jewelry and knit beaded purses and it works beautifully.

Like anything else, crochet threads have changed thru the years. Most of that change is that colors are added or subtracted due to public request.  In the 1950s these hotter colors were popular along with colors we never see today, hot pinks, various purples/grapes/lilac, the aqua, greens other than mint or Christmas, and many colors of cream and ecru.  


 Various smaller 100 yard spools of brightly colored pearl cotton threads are a nice little glimpse into the 1940s and 1950s.  Lots of colors and two brands, most of the balls are full or almost full, so are a great value too!  Won't see these colors today, especially in the DMC (that tends to be really pricy)

Eleven  crochet or tatting pearl cotton threads include:

1. DMC #8 pearl cotton, 100 yards, Made in France, darker lime green. Looks like full spool.

2.  DMC #8 pearl cotton, 100 yards, Made in France, light mint green, looks full.

3. DMC #8 pearl cotton, 100 yards, Made in France, medium mint green, looks full.

4. DMC #8 pearl cotton, 100 yards, Made in France, bright green varigated, looks full.

7. J & P Coats #8 pearl cotton, 100 yards, USA, varigated, light to medium hot pinks, looks full

8. no name, #8 pearl cotton, probably Coat's, medium purple/lilac, probably 1/2 spool, 50 yards or so?

9. no name #8 pearl cotton, probably Coat's, dark bright gold, probably 1/4 spool, 25 yards or so?

10. no name #8 pearl cotton, probably Coat's, bright red, 1/2 spool, 50 yards or so?

Excellent mix.  Impossible to find these colors today.

Great way to build your stash of gorgeous crochet threads.
