I am very familiar with the story of the Elves and the Shoemaker, it was one my favourite stories to read when I was little along with The Emperor's New Clothes and others that I had in a set of "Read It Yourself" books published by Ladybird in the late 1970's. The front covers were mostly black with large rounded typeface in bright colours for the "Read it Yourself" and a small illustration at the bottom. Happy memories from an innocent time of life.
All the information can be found in the first photo and if you click on the photo you can zoom in if you need to.
This is another one where the design on the packet is just a nice Christmassy type of design, although it does have a kind of Scandinavian type feel about it.
I have undone the tightly wrapped little bundles and made them into braids to take any pressures off the fibres and also so that I can see the colours properly and feel the texture too. This one feels just nasty. I don't want to touch it if I can help it. I don't mind the colours so I am wondering if I could pull out most of the nasty rough Faroe Island wool and replace it with something else and add more similar fibres and colours to bring the total up to around 100g.
