Kresge's Green Oak Pompadour

Anyone ever heard of it?

I had a skein that someone gave me. it was already started as a baby jacket, and I finished it. I really like the pattern and want to use it more. But I can't find the company anywhere. (And it is or was located locally) Anyone heard of it?

I'm thinking you might have a hard time finding more of it...

 

Kresge is the same company as K-mart - their early stores were just called Kresge, and I think they were pretty much like Woolworth's. I'm pretty sure they used to put their own label on stuff like yarn and sewing supplies.

 

Does the label look anything like the one on this page? (It's the third picture down in the right hand column): www.fabrics.net/joanbiasb...s21001.asp

 

If it does, the yarn's probably vintage and can't be found unless you luck out and find it on ebay or something...

Thanks Stacey.

I never would have guessed. I'm not looking for more yarn, althought that does look like the wrapper. I am looking into the pattern. I'll check out k mart. thanks!
