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.

o these various colored threads are a nice little glimpse into the 1940s and 1950s. Lots of colors and brands, most of the balls are full or almost full, so are a great value too!

Seven crochet cotton threads include:

1. J & P Coats knit-cro-sheen: 175 yards, medium silver gray color (NO metallic, just a steel/silver grey color), 7/8 of a ball, no size on this, looks like it is #20.

2. Clark's Big ball, 250 yds, most of a ball left, medium light blue, #30.

3. J & P Coats knit-cro-sheen: 175 yards, bright aqua (blue/green), most of ball left, looks like #20, no size marked. Color did not photograph well. it is a bright aqua green, brighter than shown.

4. . Clark's big ball, 300 yards, #30 size, varigated blues, 1/3 of ball left
Excellent mix. Impossible to find these colors today.

Condition: very very good for being 70+ years old. This is clean, not dusty, and has no funny smells. Beautiful and hard to find colors and brands.

Great way to build your stash of gorgeous crochet threads.
