Thread: Antron Yarn with clear antron in the mix

  1. #1

    Default Antron Yarn with clear antron in the mix

    This is some yarn that Gary LaFontaine had made up special by Dupont back in the late 90's. I stopped in to see him soon after this giant box of yarn had arrived. It took up most of the old one car garage he had it stored in. When I expressed interest in getting some of each color, he said fine but you have take whole spools. So I ended up with four bulk spools, one of each color he had made. The four colors are dark brown, light olive, light grey and light burnt orange. It can be cut up in 1/4" chunks to make touch dubbing or 3/4 to 1 inch chunks and blended to make dubbin of various sorts. It can also be combed out in longer lengths and blended with other long staple types of dubbing. Gary's Sparkle Pupae patterns use this yarn for the bubble sheath around the body. I will include 15 yards of each color plus a piece of another color that is a light brown or tan color of the same kind of yarn. I was thinking $10.00 should cover my expenses. Send a PM and I will get back to you.

    I'm definitely interested. How much are you charging?
    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    Bruce,
    Your picture doesn't show. Curious, how would you define "whole spools"?
    Thanks

    the yarns are wrapped on hard cones a foot tall and the loaded cones are about 8" to 10" thick at the base of the cone. A large amount of yarn. I know we tied more than a thousand dozen sparkle pupas and it doesn't look like we even touched them.

    Since I need more dubbing to go with the amount I already have, a PM has been sent to increase my stock to last 2 more lifetimes!
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Antron Sparkle Yarn is still available in a lot of colors from www.thebookmailer.com but if you are selling for dramatically less, might be interested.
