I've also seen them referred to as a Trader. I have one of their pattern books - No 108 - that is dated 1947 and there were several issued before that.

I have found a few patterns in Spinnerin pamphlets that call for this yarn, but I'm not usually a big fan of 60s knitwear since it is often not as fitted as I would like. The texture of the Ski Sprint makes me think it would work well for a short 1940s workwear jacket without any fancy stitchwork.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07537681216694369292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382754892322119466.post-14933248361084984572016-05-11T21:40:30.264-05:002016-05-11T21:40:30.264-05:00I think the yellow is in a box for a different yar...I think the yellow is in a box for a different yarn and is actually called "desiree,"... but, yes, I think SOME yarn was called that.
