There aren’t too many employers that can boast about such a long term employee and not too many employees that are loyal to one company.

I can tell you that Betty is not only loyal, she has a generous heart, helps those in need and has strong family ties. Growing up, I remember going to her house to play pinochle with her and my grandmother over an iced cold glass of tea. She loves dogs and has had many poodles and a yorkie terrier over the years.

Thanks to all the employees of Plymouth Yarn for the love and kindness you have shown to my Great Aunt over the past 45 years.

Keep going strong Aunt Betty! Only 5 more years and we can celebrate your 50th anniversary!

Love, Jacqueline

There is a current yarn that may have the qualities you are searching for. On our website, check out Encore Boucle, it has a beautiful colorspun color range and that bumpiness & wash-ability you are looking for.

Perhaps Betty would know the Plymouth yarn from the past I’m hoping is still produced.

It is Encore Colorspun worsted, color # 7021. More than 20 years ago, I bought it in a yarn store in Baltimore to make a vest–one I’m wearing as this is written. It has held up beautifully through a number of washings and button changes.

The color is beige and white, the surface/texture attractively bumpy (not sure how to describe accurately). When I look on this website, all the Colorspun worsted appears smooth-textured.

It would be wonderful to find the same yarn in other colors.

Here’s hoping Betty knows what I’m looking for. yours, naomi
