Additional information
Spinnerin Elf appears to be extremely rare. Based on on-line photographs of a few balls, it was a shiny, 100% acrylic yarn, probably 2 or 3 plies, put up in 1-oz. balls. No yardage or gauge appears on the label. It appears in a few patterns as a substitute for sport-weight yarns, indicating that it was a sport-weight as well. An estimate of 100 yds per oz. has been used based on other 100% sport-weight acrylic Spinnerin yarns (such as Sabrina).
