Hi Juan! I’m 3 days older than Jesus and I remember a lot of those yarns. 😂 What a nice stroll down memory lane. Thank you for sharing!🥰🧶

I love vintage yarn! I found my mom's yarn basket several years ago, and it was full of old Red Heart and Paton yarn. There was also a box of mini-granny squares that my mom had made. I have no idea what she'd planned to make with them, but I'm incorporating them into items for myself and my brother and sister, so we'll each have some of her work. ❤

[@dianestiebel]

Did u get this box of yarn from my closet because it is yarns from my oldest stash wonder if you could still use them and let us know what u use it for

[@stephanienorris364]

This is the best and funniest yarn review. "unbiased review" was comedy gold. 😅

[@melissaking9536]

I recently had an old friend that I went to high-school with, give me 3 totes of her mother's yarn AND crochet magazines......ALL VINTAGE. I felt like I was opening a time capsule. One book of patterns was dated 1947!

[@bunnygaffney2765]

Wow, I bet that was amazing

[@Gotjava]

That sounds like so much fun ❤

[@meganbateman1605]

What a prize!

[@beckiweaver8383]

Columbia-Minerva is the yarn I learned to crochet. CM was discontinued sometime in the 1960s. This was so much fun seeing the older labels I started my yarn journey. Orlon acrylic was found by DuPont in the 1940s.

[@cathycallaghan3744]

The label on that creamy white yarn would look fabulous in a little frame in your crafting room. I love it. *Columbia Minerva yarn

[@susanh2610]

You got a great deal! I will be 70 next week and I remember my mom knitting with those vintage yarns when I was a kid, so they’re probably from the 50’s and 60’s. I remember seeing Wintuck on the labels. Also that “hairy” yarn looks like Lion Brand Homespun. It was popular about 15 or 20 years ago. Have fun with all your yarn!

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

L💜VE Your Gorgeous Scarf & Beanie Set Juan 💜😊! This was so much Fun & Thanks for sharing Your Vintage Haul with us 💜😊!

[@SaltySavageEve]

Sherbet pom pom yarn would make cute fall bumpy pumpkins 🎃

[@Theresagarcia1]

I love your hat and scarve, the vintage yarns take me back in the day lots of fun finding vintage yarns.

[@Echelleg]

You could take those vintage yarns and make a shadow box of them. Then you can enjoy them without trying to use them in a project. My great grandmother owned a sewing shop back when my 75 yo momma was a very young girl. I have a lot of her vintage sewing and knitting/crocheting items and I’m going to shadow box them to preserve that little bit of family history. LOVE LOVE LOVE your channel.

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it!

[@margospica6429]

Love the colors of your hat and scarf!❤️

[@elainesiebel9212]

I have been given a lot of vintage yarn and vintage crochet books! Such a treasure! This person was 90 when she died and she crocheted up to her last few years!

[@hummingbirdess8763]

New here from Bag-o-Day and I too love Premier Puzzle!! Because I am a yarn hoarder, I have many vintage yarns! Most from early 80’s None of the yarns had a number weight then, they went by ply’s. Google the companies. The craft cord can be used for baskets , purses, bags and plant hangers. The furry yarn is good for trim but a pain to make something completely out of it. The unlabeled “crinkly yarn looks like Homespun. I’ve used Homespun to make a shawl. Very Pretty and soft! 24/7 cotton is still available and it is not that old. Can’t wait to watch your other vids!

[@TamiKing-yo9zy]

I remember buying yarn with that tag at the 10cent store for my afghans when I was in 1st and 2nd grade . I'm 63.

[@tamieneal2343]

I learned to crochet in 2nd grade too! I’m 77 Tamie in Ohio💕

[@laurasherwood1956]

Juan, That Bonnie cord is for macrame. You do crochet that, along with braiding, it's just a rough simplistic craft, more for carpet or plant hangars or art projects. Laura 😊

[@danamiceli4948]

What a fun trip down memory lane, Juan! Have fun with your treasures!

[@shawnybee1]

Those specialty yarns are hard to crochet with. They make awesome projects. But if you make a mistake they are almost impossible to take out. Here is a plus though, it's also impossible to see where you've had to cut and splice. But it's a slow hook and splits when your hooking. Best to use a bigger hook that way you know where to put it in the next row.

[@lyndamorstain4761]

What a treasure box of yarn! Took me back to watching my Mama & Grandma crochet with the Red Heart Baby yarn. Yeah, I’ge been here since 1964, & learned to crochet in 1983, so I’ve seen a lot of good, bad, & downright weird yarn! Looking forward to seeing what you create with some of those 😉

[@suescrochetwips2325]

Hi Juan, I'm 56 years old and I can remember many of the older women in my family using these yarns, also please don't apologize for use of only a simple half double crochet pattern for the hat and scarf, the Puzzle yarn speaks volumes for itself.

[@helenrieck2343]

The brown yarn is Homespun, and Sundance Village is from Hercshners, pretty sure😉

[@starrlight2367]

I remember many of these yarns and companies from the 60's. TY for this video.

[@marieestes5200]

Evita is considered a ladder yarn. It's great to combine with a pima cotton to make a fancy scarf, hold both together to crochet. Use a large hook, creates lace look. I used an L hook. Nice vintage yarn haul. 👍

[@tamieneal2343]

Hi Juan loved the unboxing. I’m 77 years old and remember the vintage yarns. That beige cord would make a nice basket. That one yarn without a label looked like a homespun I use to have. You look really good in the soft blue yarn you’re wearing 💕

[@marieestes5200]

Definitely Lion Brand Homespun. Like you I crocheted with it too. Many prayer shawls made.

[@user-gz9tq2ms9d]

I learned to knit using the baby fingering yarn in 1972 making baby sweaters for my son with small thin needles, I think size #2 or#3...took me forever to finish 1 sweater. The cord may have been for macrame. Hi Juan and Wilma from Yvonne Dixon winner of your scarf

[@sarahpeterson2813]

I agree, that "hairy" yarn that "like nice" looks like Lion Brand Homespun. Fun watch, thank you for sharing.

[@veramyburgh3227]

Hi I am from South Africa. First time on your channel.

[@susanlawless5940]

Just an idea: take all the vintage yarn labels and make a collage for a picture/poster for your wall. (Could spell out words with yarn.) Great find for a box of vintage yarn!!🧶 The 6mm is Macrame cord. I have been doing macrame since the 70's. You can use the macrame cord as a filler and crochet over it to crochet a basket.🤗

[@ReallyMimi]

I love how you make up stories for the yarns😝 I’ve been crocheting since the late 80’s and recognize some of those but some are way older-so cool👍🏻

[@victoriafoggetta3899]

Hi Juan, I am loving your Chanel!!! At 19:13 I believe the yarn is Homespun by Lion Brand in the color way Herb. It’s a great yarn!!! One of my favorites!!! Enjoy- Victoria

[@laurarethemeyer3629]

Wow! Love the vintage yarn! Thanks for sharing! 💜🧶

[@helenrieck2343]

This was so much fun, great start to my morning and keep true to yourself, thank you❤️

[@oldmomma56]

Boy, yeah, now I am obsessed with doing a project with Puzzle Yarn!

[@christingreene7978]

This video was so interesting!! I loved seeing all the vintage yarns!! The blue sparkly one was my favorite

[@gregoryvozar6236]

Thanks, Juan! This was one of the most interesting yarn reviews I’ve ever watched! (LOVE Puzzle by Premier. Got a couple projects using Puzzle on the hook right now,)

[@cindyperry5504]

Absolutely beautiful Puzzle color way. Makes me want to buy it right now so that I can get a hat and scarf knit up for our expected cold weather next week.

[@shawnybee1]

It's so enjoyable to see these old threads from my childhood. Red heart came out in 1936 and as the years went by they got better and better with durability, washability, colors and feel. I still have remnants from projects. That cording is for crocheting a motif or rectangle for a floor mat or rug. The skien of yarn that you are calling skien of yarn that looks nice is lion brand homespun it's my favorite for scarves and squishy beanies.

[@Crochetedbymichi]

The Italian yarn screams for a cute camisole top!!!! How exciting ❤Awesome find

[@vaultgirl145]

This is what I was able to find out about the Spool Cotton Company, you can also find their archived patterns if your curious.... The Spool Cotton Co. produced thread and yarn in the late 1800's to the early 1900's. It eventually merged with Coats and Clarks. They published popular crochet and knitting patterns in the 30's to the 50's that were priced at 10 cents. Spinnerin Nylaine Yarns were in business from the 1950's to the end of the 1970's early 80's. They did not only yarn but patterns and then towards the end of the companies life cycle they produced rug hook kits.

[@tamieneal2343]

You are so knowledgeable! I learned so much from your post. Tamie in Ohio💕

[@judyinmichigan3418]

Great yarn. It was fun to see what you got. Some of them, I never heard of before. I like it when they put color & year on ball band.

[@kathybelongia]

Great yarn haul from ebay. Love seeing vintage yarns! Your scarf and hat are lovely.

[@gioiacasterline4835]

I remember my aunt getting some of that yarn.

[@denisemayer3837]

How much fun was this thx for sharing ❤️🇨🇦🌈

[@elishaherrera2407]

Hello Juan, that yarn is Homespun by Lion Brand. Bulky 5, 98% Acrylic, 2% Polyester. Net weight 6.0 oz/170 grams around 185 yds.

[@diamondringirl]

Hello Juan, nice yarn haul for a nice price. i remember some of that yarn. i may have one or two of the baby yarns. sometimes you win, sometimes you don't with used yarn. i got some that smelled like it was in a musty basement (that was local) I put it in a tote for a month with fabric softener sheets and now it smells nice. . i got some real nice yarn. and i also got some that i needed because it was sold out everywhere and ebay was my only source. i hear mercari is also a good place to get used yarn.

[@SweetPea112]

The green Puffball yarn is something I would glue over a cone and make a puffy Christmas tree! You may have seen the bobble stitch Christmas trees that are so popular this year and that's what gave me the idea. Might be fun to craft with.

[@stephanienorris364]

That Very airy hairy brown yarn is lion brand Homespun. Huge rage late 90s, early 2000s. The "Martha Stewart Coming Home Poncho" was made with this. It can be a bear to work with, but so soft in afghan, scarves or poncho.

[@Newfiequeen1]

There is something about looking and feeling "vintage" yarn. Cant find good things like that here in Newfoundland Canada. Beautiful colors..

[@tawalker67]

I bought a lot of my vintage hero hooks off of eBay made some good deals. Had to Crystal hero hooks I’m a crochet hook addict too

[@jennycampbell1333]

That dark red glittery ball does look christmassy 🙂

[@look_ma_no_hands]

Hey Juan! I have some of those vintage yarns in my collection. I've inherited a good deal of my collection from my aunts and other family members. I say use up those vintage yarns! I love trying to come up with beautiful projects using the odd/mismatched yarns. I love the challenge of taking random yarns and making something amazing!.

[@ASquareGranny]

EBAY! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I feel so SILLY! I had not even thought about going to the site to shop yarn! Goodness, I’m such a rookie; I’m grateful to “pros” like yourself! ☺️. What an interesting haul!!! Beautiful hat and scarf! Cheers! ☺️🫶🏻🧶 Lisa in OH

[@tamieneal2343]

Hi Lisa I’m in Ohio where are you? My daughter is an NP at Grant in Columbus!

[@jpat_]

Ugh, I love seeing how yarn works up like in the scarf and hat. I know we all do here, but man 😆

[@StratigicStitches]

Love ebay and your attitude. Experimenting is so fun. And ebay is a treasure trove

[@gardengalsu]

When my dad's older sister moved into a care home, my cousins gave me a tote full of her yarn. She had a few of the "ancient" labeled skeins. I think it'll go into a museum of sorts! The Bernat Blissful(?) you'd probably use it for edging as an accent ...

[@jaelura]

VINTAGE! I would have been a toddler when some of those came out! I recently received a box of vintage yarn and I love the smells (I’m weird lol) of old yarn. Exciting to see you go through your new Vintage Stash! ♥🎃👻

[@DianEnglish56]

Interesting to see the vintage yarns and labels.

[@carolschmidt4949]

Good morning… there are ply charts to convert yarn weight to ply.. Hope this helps..I googled ply chart and they popped up..love your KZbin channel 😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@preciousbeautyj1043]

Hahaha, I’ve all those RH yarns you showed plus lots of others that’s not being made anymore. I’ve LB Jamie and the original Jiffy. I keep my vintage yarns in a clear bin away from the bright lights. Great vintage haul. I love browsing Ebay.

[@dmgcota]

I too have gotten vintage yarn from goodwill and thrift stores. I usually use it to make items I donate

[@berthalutters1615]

😂😂😂oh this was a good one. Funny, more Ebay!! Oh I remember some of them.

[@ThriftCityStyling]

Love that beanie! Definitely looking forward to a tutorial on that❤ love me some eBay for vintage anything as well as some really good deals. It’s also a good place to find discontinued yarn.

[@KelMarieME]

Juan, I discovered your channel recently, and now I binge watch your videos while I crochet and knit. I might be a Juan addict. 😂

[@KellyAnneCalabrese-si6wb]

Oh boy! I feel ooollldddd! I have some of that "vintage" yarn. Guess that makes me vintage. lol 😊 😆 🤣

[@stephanienorris364]

I crack up at some of the old labels with "virgin acrylic".

[@lisamcclure8770]

Nice yarn haul. Great to go back in time 😊

[@lizallen9535]

Learned to crochet on Wintuk in the 70s. I have Spinnerin books from the 40s.

[@beckyp9700]

Greetings, Awesome yarn haul. I know what some of those mystery yarns are. I will list them below. I always say, you can not make an informed decision without all the necessary information. Thank you for sharing. See you in the next one. Sundance yarn is from Herrschner's. Orlon is acrylic. That "hairy" yarn is Lion Brand Homespun. Bitch to crochet with, awesome to knit with. That gray ball that you think is Hometown, you are 100% correct. Dept 71 is from Herrschner's, Sirdar is also from Herrschner's,

[@manfasmakes-sam]

Interesting yarns! How awesome ❤

[@45beetle]

Homespun Lion Brand. 5-6 some people call it hellspun because it’s a bugger to frog

[@eleanorkaempf8337]

They are very pretty. Maybe vintage should stay vintage. A little bit of history. Love your channel. Maybe a tutorial on that great hat and scarf. Have a great day. ❤️

[@susanhayes-yk8xs]

I think the yarn with the bobbles and spaces was a kind of ladder yarn that folks used to make necklaces. ….maybe to wear with their studio 54 disco top!

[@Teerae11]

You should put the first few ones and the Italian ones and baby ones in a Shadow Box and display in your yarn rooms some of those are 50 & 60 's cool score Thanks for sharing , nice video

[@kimmcquaid8189]

OMG you need to put all the really older ones in a shadowbox. Hang them on your wall as an art piece. Red heart would be able to give the age of the yarn. They would look great as a Red Heart yarns throughout the years. Your mom would probably love them.

[@gregoryvozar6236]

Great idea! Left intact, these older skeins have a strong individuality, but used in a crocheted project, all that ‘antique’ magic disappears.

[@dawnfredlund5810]

Hi Juan, I really like your hat and scarf. A fan.

[@starbright47]

I found this interesting, I was laughing with you at times. Enoyed it❣️

[@fyrekrystaal27]

The skein of yarn without a label reminds me of a type of yarn I saw at Walmart. I was hoping to see a yarn called Dazzle aire. I made a bedspread out of it doing hairpin lace in the mid-1980's.

[@roseydiva1183]

Nice vintage yarns! I haven't had any trouble doing center pull on any skein of yarn. They tuck the end of the outside yarn into one end of the skein. The center pull will be the opposite end. You may have to dig around to find it, and there may be some barf at the beginning, but you'll still be able to center pull.

[@jerrianngordillo-marty161]

Wow what a treasure box ❤

[@TamiKing-yo9zy]

Love the jigsaw colorway

[@hobbiesandmoremaryking]

love all the pretty yarn, thank you

[@juliaorgantini143]

First time watching your channel. It's been close to 20 years since I bought anything from eBay! Lately, I've been checking out the yarns from local thrift stores.

[@roxannecaiolino9509]

My mother and sister still have sweaters alive knitted them from the early 80s. The yarn is superb.

[@rosemarieg6296]

I’m older then diet lol. I’ve use a lot of those yarns. The green dark colored one looks like my nemesis home spun. You did good!

[@oldmomma56]

Crystal would fight you for the blingy or mohair yarn! LOL!

[@roxannecaiolino9509]

The pom pom yarn is an accent mix w a 3 weight. Back in the eighty's we would use it hor a strip here or there or a gyametrical shape accent. Or a tank top. Very elegant.vlook for old knitting magazines.

[@jacquelinevpeterson2220]

I like that hat and scarf.

[@quiltycrocheter9179]

Fun unboxing, the brown "hairy" yarn is Homespun.

[@deborahrichardson1842]

Juan, I love your scarf and hat, great colorway in you! Vintage yarn is interesting, i find most of it rough. I recently got a box of yarn from Goodwill online and it had some vintage yarn in it. There is one James C Brett Baby Marble double knit, some old CSS, and some other ones. It was fun to get, but I think buying it outright cost me more than it should. Oh well, good experience and I got lots of other great baby yarns! I look forward to more videos, have a great day!🩵

[@ladawnaanderson2773]

love that new color on you. . looks great. !

[@andrealouis-visser4973]

Love your hat and scarf-especially the colors. That “hairy” yarn is more recent but I can’t think of the name of it. I never liked working with it. It also came in a jillion colors! The red Cotton 24/7 is current. I have some with that label. The last one is “ladder” yarn. I knit a scarf with it before I knew what I was getting into. Not easy to see the stitches.

[@CreationsbyJax]

Wow you got some oldies for sure 😊

[@Alicia_1970]

That was fun!

[@PiNKxEVERYTHiNG]

Hii!! I am binging your videos because I just found you and I am obsessed!!

[@gabbyferreira4786]

Love the hat and scarf

[@KLine-aka-Kathy]

Really interested to see what you come up with. I’ll enjoy the ride.

[@twistoft3364]

I love vintage yarn and I do use it.. but I always make my daughter's stuff with it. .

[@gabbyferreira4786]

Loooove that puzzle yarn, I have that color, but want the other colors

[@redcanary2928]

Hi Juan! Love your hat and scarf!

[@anndunn6775]

Wow, great hat and scarf. I really like the jigsaw colorway. Gee some of those yarns are really old. The yarn at 19:31 looks like Lionbrand Homespun . You can still get it but it is being phased out I think.

[@jennsnow9704]

Love the vitage yarn! Word to the wise I would store the vintage yarn separate from your other yarn. Speaking from experience. One time I did not do this and it gave my new yarn quite an oder to the point that I had to thorw it all away.
