Craigslist find: thread
#1
So I was going through craigslist came across this ad for "lots of thread for $10". Ended up buying it. There are about 90-100 spools of assorted threads in size and color, from hardly used to not used at all. While I was organizing the sizes and colors I got to looking at some of the lables, about 30 of the small wooden spools contain pure silk thread. Have no idea what i'm going to use it for but I was thinking maybe embroidery or something. Fun part is some of the larger spools are also on wooden spools. I don't think they have put thread on wooden spools for a long time, but the thread is good and stong. She also threw in the 15qt. plastic storage container it was in. I won't have to buy thread for a long time.
