RALPHIE'S MOM hand dyed A Christmas Store easy-care acrylic/cotton/wool blend yarn from recycled sweater 100 gr/300 yards

Description

This yarn has been harvested from a high-quality, name-brand sweater, in an acrylic/cotton/wool blend. "Go Green" with your knitting!

What we have here is Ralphie Parker's Mom in the classic movie, A Christmas Story. The yarn is deep pink with randomly-dyed maroon places and white fibers throughout.

The yarn is very soft. Knit up a funky hat, or stylish narrow scarf!!! Or it would make a great knitted mesh bag for toting groceries or stuff while shopping! The cotton content makes it suitable for indoor wear.

This skein contains NO knots. The yarn is a "fused single" (the fibers are kind of like stuck to each other). Each first time buyer (and repeats if I feel so inclined, LoL) will get a "Somethin' FREE!"

THIS LISTING IS FOR ONE SKEIN ONLY! It will come to you nicely wrapped and wound into a center-pull ball. If you would rather have it in skein form, please convo me!

20% of the profits (sales minus cost of merchandise, mailing, and listing fees) from my Etsy shops will go to the building of a new Youth Center here in the Greater Knoxville area! The one we have now currently serves something like 700 young people. Thanks for helping our local kids!

The other 80% of my shop profits are all going to sponsor my 14yod (http://fluff4ewe.etsy.com) in her pursuit of the Christian modeling agency, http://amtcworld.com.
