Note: After Minerva’s merge with Columbia in the early 1950s, creating a new brand, Columbia-Minerva, the size and fiber content of Zephyr Fingering was altered from from the original 2 oz. of 100% wool to a 1 oz. skein of 50% wool, 50% nylon.

*** MANY early CM yarns contain the word “Zephyr” -- they are not all N&W Fingering.
