Balger Haul!

So, we stopped at SCRAP today and I walked away with a bunch of Balger for 50-75 cents apiece.  And also some backing fabric and a few skeins of variegated DMC.

When I was looking up their numbers and descriptions, I ran across this article about Balger and Kreinik that you might find interesting if you have an old pattern calling for Balger and are confused by why it's now Kreinik.  Finally, the mystery is solved!
