Villawool was an Australian yarn company that put out a yarn called Ban-Lon in the 1970s. Ban-Long was a 100% nylon yarn in 1 ounce balls in DK weight (8 ply). This booklet notes you want the “purple label” Ban-Lon, and my best guess about why the purple label was important is that it may have signified which Villawool yarns were nylon. Nylon yarns were a pretty new thing at the time, so I can see a company wanting to make them stand out.
Anyway, this booklet includes 9 crochet patterns and 3 knitting patterns. Two of the crochet patterns are bikinis, and the photographer absolutely failed to get any full shots of them. The first one you can mostly see. The second one you can only see the straps under the poncho.
