Very old yarn stash members

Sometimes things just appear in unexpected places, like these spools of grey wool I found in an antique store among furniture and other non-knitting items. Each of these holds more than 100 grams cobweb weight wool.
The large black spool is not antique, but definitely vintage and acquired from someone's old stash. There is more than a kilo of cobweb wool on it!
No time to be bored in the foreseeable future - all of that should be enough for at least thirteen shawls.

    Nii tore leid! Soovin sulle palju ilusaid salle ning nauditavat kudumist!

    Mul on selliseid pisikese (antiikseid :D) poole 37, värvilt on lõng mustjas (sekka punakat ja sinakat tooni), aga nad on ühekordsest (ämbliku)niidist ja seega vajaks korrutust. Ma tellisin väikese katsetuse ning siis on näha, kas saab asja või jätan mõtte katki.

    Tänan heade soovide eest! Peenike on ta küll, aga tahakski proovida, kuidas välja kukub.
    Kui huvi on, siis poolid on pärit Tallinnast Jannseni kaubamaja teiselt korruselt, vist oli ka lillakat ja helerohelist värvi.

    Lace, lace and more lace?
    Thinking of making at least one Haapsalu in each colour and other improvised shawls and scarfs. Would make a great gift, but this years Christmas is probably too close.
