Hi, I received some white Sylastik yarn as a gift. Made in the GDR! Does anyone happen to have any lying around somewhere? This yarn still needs to be wound. I’d be so happy! Thanks

Hi,

have you checked the big auction site yet? Things like that are often listed there—I saw some just a few months ago.

I wish you the best of luck.

Best regards
Michaela

Unfortunately not.
Back then, I stretched the yarn over an armchair and wound it into a ball.

Hello
Finding this yarn would be like winning the lottery.
I know this yarn—I used to knit with it myself back in the early ’80s, and it came in gorgeous, vibrant colors.
I still have quite a bit of GDR yarn, but unfortunately not this one. It was like gold dust and wasn’t available for very long.

Good luck with your search.
