Up for Auction...Vintage Bucilla "Glamour Petal" Afghan Kit
From Bucilla, this is a treasure of an afghan kit!
It is kit number 7760 with a 1967 copyright date. The yarn is 100% wool, and this kit has the color combination for the "Orange Blossoms" crocheted afghan in java brown, two shades of orange, and yellow. The finished dimensions for the 455 crocheted version are 49 by 68 inches.
The kit here is partially worked with 54 of the blossoms already made in two colors: the light orange for the outer part of the blossoms and the yellow for the centers. There is yarn left for more blossoms to be made, and the plastic loom is included. The darker orange and brown yarn has not yet been used. Based on the way the skeins fit into and fill the box, there is no missing yarn. The kit also inlcudes the cover sheet and directions, also complete at four printed pages.
As shown in the photos, the box has a fair bit of wear and has been taped together. However, the box still closes and holds the contents as a carrying case with the handle. The cover sheet and directions are a bit "rumpled" with some tears to the cover sheet. However, both are completely useable. The yarn is clean and unfaded. The cover sheet states that the yarn is moth-proofed, but I found one small moth nibble on the top surface of one skein of brown yarn. The kit comes from a pet-free, smoke-free home.
When finished, I think this afghan would be both cozy with the wool yarn and also full of retro 1960s style!
