Fowl stories? No. These are 1.76-oz (70-yard) skeins of 65% acrylic/35% nylon yarn that mimic the variegated colors on some of our favorite feathered friends. The extremely soft, downy Caron yarns are from the Feathers collection. Seagull is grey and black. Purple Finch is purple, of course, with orange, red, and yellow contributing to an overall rust color. Sandpiper is a soft off-white with beige highlights. All are bulky weight and made in Italy, and all come with instructions. Make sweaters for the birds that drop by the feeder, or knit your own aviary.

What is it? It's called Ticker Tape™, and it's a velvety nylon fabric, slightly stretchy and yarn-like, but flat, like tape. And light enough to be crocheted, we think. Cold-water washable. And it's from Italy, so it's really pretty. Whatever it is, it's by Moda-Dea™ and mighty craft-friendly. Approx 1/4" wide, you'll get (67) yards of it that segue through a series of hues. The Festival Tape morphs through purple/red/turquoise. The Charade Tape blends red/green/orange/blue/purple.

Don't curse the darkness, add a little visibility to the stairs or anything else that you need to see in the dark, like low beams or doorframes. Our each is Jobar's 4-pack of smooth, light-green, glow-in-the-dark rubber stair treads with self-adhesive strips around the perimeter. Each tread is 15-3/4" long x 6-3/4" deep x 1/16" thick. The adhesibility isn't all it could be, so you might want to add a touch of glue (and skip the on-carpet application that the picture shows). These also slice up easily for smaller applications.

Feel the need to have something rotate from the ceiling?

The off-white plastic housing measures 5" long x 1-9/16" dia with a 5/16" dia cup hook on the business end and a removable triangular mounting hook at the ceiling end. Lots of Halloween, craft, diorama, robotics and science-fair applications.

It came from either outer space, or a projection TV. Our largest Fresnel lens measures 49-1/8" x 37-1/8" x 1/16" or 1/8" thick, with a 42" focal length. Build your own lighthouse or projection TV, teach optical properties to students, or just turn your 21-inch model into one with a tavern-size picture. Held in the sun, the lens will concentrate rays enough to cook eggs or torch lumber. And, under adult supervision in the parking lot, employees of a certain un-named scientific and surplus purveyor actually melted pennies in seconds. Extremely cool and done strictly, we assure you, to determine the lens's focal length. Do not, we shouldn't have to remind you, store this puppy in direct sunlight. Or let the underage or under-mature sneak it into the sunlight.
