That’s how much I got for twenty buck’s today!! 20 200/225 yard skein’s in the lot.
About 11 of the color’s would match commonly used dubbing. All of them Acrylic from Pretty “Punch”. I’m on my way to cornering the Punch Yarn market hehehehehe!!
No Thwak the monster was always there, just took more than a full moon!!
Colors;
Black, Adam’s gray, Sulpher orange, Hendrickson’s pink, med. brown, lt. brown, tan, yellow, light gray, dirty white and cream.
I’ve built a jig to measure 5 yds. and converted my rod drier to coil it on.

Don’t forget the Michigan Fish-In August 14th to the 20th. The Holy Water’s of the Au Sable await you!!

Now you just need a million hooks to go with all that yarn… :slight_smile:

Congrats on the mega-haul.

Jack - I hate to burst your bubble (Ha Ha), but when I left that thrift shop I had spent about 15 bucks and had enough punch yarn to tie over 75,000 flie (45 spools at 6 inches per fly).

Jack and other Punch Yarn Users: Here is a link to a pattern that I think would look good tied with punch yarn.

If you guys are interested, I just posted a swap for flies using punch yarn. It should be a good way to see what everyone is doing with this material. And a chance to use up some of your endless supply of yarn!
