A customer asked me about Copley Climax yarn. I haven’t heard of it and it’s not on yarndex…maybe not around anymore? I thought someone here might recognize it.
Here is her message:
My best friend has finally found the courage to start sorting through her
late mother’s craft projects. She found a beautiful sweater with the body
and half of one sleeve finished. Unfortunately there is only one skein of
yarn left to complete a sleeve and a half, plus a buttonhole band. My best
estimate is that I need to find another four 50-gram skeins of yarn to
complete this for her. Being unfamiliar with the Copley brand of yarn, I am
doing an internet search, and your site came up. Can you give me any advice
as to where I might find this yarn?
The specifics are:
Copley “Climax” Double Knitting
Shade 397 (bright red)
Lot 9645
Thank you and any of your subscribers who might help me locate this yarn. I deeply appreciate your help!
All I know is, Copley are / were a UK company based in Darlington (Yorkshire). I messaged an ebayer selling a copley pattern and she gave me an address of this:
l. copley-smith & sons limited
p.o. box darlington
dl1 1yw
UK
I know thats not much help but I’ll see what else I can find out and see if I can find a place for the yarn. Again no immediate promises, I’m still up to my eyes in family stuff!
