Description

The listing, 8 Skeins Berroco Captiva has ended.

This auction is for eight skeins of Berroco Captiva yarn in Antique Lace (a barely off-white, lustrous cream). The knitting weight is what I would call a light worsted, and my favorite needle for the fabric is a US 5 or 6. Here's the link for yardage and detailed fiber content information: <http://www.berroco.com/yarns/berroco-captiva>. The skeins have been wound into balls and knitted up once or twice, then frogged, but the yarn is in perfect condition. Photo to come soon.

I cannot BELIEVE I am auctioning this off, but I purchased it for a commission that fell through, and it's time to accept the sad truth: I don't really wear white, I don't need any more sweaters, and I don't enjoy working with novelty yarn. My loss, your gain! :D

Questions & Comments

Can you post a picture of the actual skeins please?

Sorry, the green is a stock photo because I posted this auction while I was at work one day. The yarn received will be as in the second photo: the white.

Is this the Venetian Lace color?

Mar 21st, 2013 at 5:24:43 AM PDT by

You know, I've seen it called Venetian Lace in some places and Antique Lace in others. But yes. I think it's the only shade of white available in the original Captiva...

Hi,
Do you know how many grams/ yards in each skein? It's probably on the label but I can't make it out. Thanks!

Mar 25th, 2013 at 1:43:19 PM PDT by

Sorry for the delay in responding! Each hank is 98 yards. A bit may have been lost, but each ball is definitely at least 90 yards.

Is it machine washable?
