We lived in Allentown for about three years back in the 1970s. Tucker’s was a favorite stop for me. I spent many hours there finding the perfect yarn for a project, and they were always so helpful when I was trying to get a color scheme worked out. I am glad to see that they are still there.

Wish I could visit Tucker Yarns, too. Would love to see & purchase some of that vintage yarn.

I grew up in the Allentown area and remember my grandmother talking about Tucker’s.

My mom gave me about 30 Sayelle Pompadour skeins. I’ve tried like crazy to make something out of them but just can’t figure out the right gauge.

I just found five skeins of Molaine in Beige at a thrift store – am using it to make Manta Ray shawl from Yarn Play by Lisa Shobana Mason – it is exactly what I’ve been looking for to use for that pattern. If it works out, I will have a beautiful shawl for less than $4!! (75 cents each plus CA sales tax). I’d love to know more about it’s history. Another reader mentioned a museum of yarns no longer produced – I think that’s a fabulous idea! I would love to know what years this yarn (and other discontinued yarns I might run across) was produced in – it would be fun to be able to say “This yarn was made before 1962″ or something like that!

Tucker’s is a great store with so many vintage yarns and kits from days gone by. If you are looking for ANYTHING from days gone by, call them because they just might have it stored in their large stock hidden on the three floors of the building. Don’t let the picture fool you; the store goes back a whole city block deep and the three floors have yarn, kits, buttons, patterns (you name the craft) stored. Their customer service is wonderful. If they don’t have it, they just may know where they can get it for you.

I wish I had been there! I would have loved to get my hands on some of that yarn!
