I scored at the Salvation Army today.

Oh my. How I love to go thirfting. :D On my way back home from work, I saw a parking spot right in front of the door of the Salvation Army, I just couldn't pass it up. Those of you who live in cities like this one (San Francisco) know what that is like. Anyway, in I went. $20 later, I came out with 3 sweaters, one of which I'll be unraveling for sure. The first one is nothing that special. 80% wool/20% nylon blend. Pleasant color. Good enough condition. I might just keep this one to wear.

the second one is a nice vintage-ish LL Bean 100% wool. Alson nice color. This one I'm unraveling and making it into some thing prettier.

And now for the prize. My jaw dropped in sheer joy when i saw:

This wool is so amazing, you can feel the lanolin still on it. I don't particularly like the style of the sweater, especially that nonsense serging decoration job-- which thank goodness, is purely decorative, so it's coming off first thing! After that, I shall decide whether to unravel it or not... that wool is a thing of beauty. I can't believe I found that at the Salvation Army for less that $5, and new with tag! Good times, good times.
