Dimensions Needlepoint Kit Refuge 9" x 18" Wool - *****Read ad ****

Description

I have a smoke free and Covid free home.
Needlepoint kit from Dimensions titled Refuge
Design Size: 18" x 9"      year of kit: 1988
Kit# 2340
Rowboat tied to a wooden dock on a tranquil lake with forest and fall autumn leaves.
PLEASE NOTE: This was a factory sealed kit. Some of the yarn did not look right to me.
So I opened to check on. About 6 pieces broke very easily when I pulled on it.
There are 2 factory bundles. One if perfectly fine, I pulled three times, none in that bundle gave way.
Other bundle is where pieces broke. So not sure if something was absorbed thru plastic and caused yarn to easily break. I'm baffled since factory sealed. None of the other items in kit are discolored or damaged at all.
I did take photo of broken yarn - see last photo.  Since 6 inches came off a few strands, not sure
if yarn is sufficient or not. I did pull on that second strand and most are intact.
Because of the situation with yarn , I have discounted kit price to reflect the damaged yarn.
Kit has:
Persian wool yarn
dark brown embroidery thread
design printed in color on 12 mesh canvas
needle
chart
