Random Goodness: Knits are Nice!!

Knits are nice!!  Especially those groovy knits from the early Penneys Big Book Catalog!!

 Lots of 70s grooviness going on here with the shirt and giant tie!!

 Much more subdues here, but still very nice!!

 Knits from Dacron polyester!  Of course they keep their shape!!

 "luscious because they're acetate"  Hmmm, not sure that's a selling point, but back in early 70s, maybe?!?!

Let's finish with some knits made of Orlon acrylic, whatever that is.  Apparently they were proud of that fact back then.....

    I want to wear all of these, but especially the pink jumper with the white GoGo boots! I think the acrylic was so popular because it didn't require ironing and was easier to care for than actual wool.

      I think that would be great! I'd love to see these fashions come back into style!

    Orlon had been popular for at least 10 years before since there was a group named the Orlons in the 60's.

      I'll have to check out that group, maybe for a future post
