It seems from the yarn shop ads that a ball of Disneyland Angora cost nearly as much as a 1 ounce ball of the Botany wool, so was very expensive, and possibly was reserved for trimming. But other companies, like Patons & Baldwins, published patterns for complete garments like jumpers, and for adults too, and their balls of sngira were larger, so it's a bit of a mysteryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805580631057957340.post-51531232083492079472022-05-12T00:18:04.876+01:002022-05-12T00:18:04.876+01:00Found your essay interesting and did a short searc...Found your essay interesting and did a short search on Disneyland Wool, but found only a few pictures of a Disneyland Baby wool with a Pluto band, sort of a light beige color. Picture is copy righted so I couldn't send it along.. I do suspect that as far as the angora is concerned, the probable reason for the very small balls, is in that era, (I was born in 1949, had many of my mother's knitting books) angora was usually used as an edging, cuffs on sleeves or gloves, and often sweet little collars on toddler's tops. Just thought I would pass this on to you. I enjoy your letter, look forward to the next.<br />Linda M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
