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!

1. J & P Coats knit-cro-sheen: 175 yards, cocoa brown, 3/4 a ball, no #, maybe a #20 as is thicker?
