I have a copy of a booklet Sears marketed after the Century of Progress World's Fair. I thought I would share the whole booklet with you! Since it is a 23 page booklet, I'm breaking them down into 2 parts. Half today and half Friday. I love reading the text because it provides so much insight on techniques of the past. I hope you find it interesting too!
Questions I have for you: Which is your favorite pattern? What the heck is left-handed thread? Any other tidbits you found interesting?
My booklet was copyrighted 1934.
More on Friday!
Have a safe and happy holiday!
I think "left hand" thread refers to the direction of the twist. That would determine which end you knot. I have no clue if such a thread was marketed, though.
ReplyDeleteWhat Libby said. Thread and yarn can be left or right hand twist, more commonly called S or Z twist today. Hold a thread or yarn vertically and which ever way the ply goes matches the letter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this pamphlet!
