[QUOTE="Mansons2005, post: 183493, member: 121"]There is enough embroidery floss here to make a "Volkswagen Bus Cozy" if you can find a piece of fabric large enough ....... 10 boxes of taupe colored (close up photo taken on white printer paper) Linen 80 floss. Two dozen 8 yd skeins in each box That is 1920 yards or 5760 feet or 69,120 inches or just over ONE MILE of embroidery floss all the same color that is either PRICELESS or USELESS....you decide. PLEASE note - I have not counted the contents of each box to ensure that there are still 24 skeins in each, but a casual visual inspection leads me to believe that all are present and accounted for. The boxes are slightly brittle, show age and handling/shelf wear but are intact and have no water damage. Make me an offer that INCLUDES: Priority Mail Shipping (they weigh 1 lb 4 oz as is so shipping will be for 2 lb.) My zip code is 60622. OR If you do not want the boxes, shipping is about $4 for First Class Parcel (in a plastic bag and padded envelope). Contact me via the Conversations feature if interested - and NO, I do not expect to be inundated with replies.............[/QUOTE]
