The Columbia book of yarns : containing a manual of knitting and crocheting
A 1916 knitting and crochet manual issued by the Wm. H. Horstmann Company of Philadelphia to sell Columbia yarns to home needleworkers, with instructions by Anna Schumacker. Halftone photographs show finished garments on models and objects laid flat: sweaters and coats with bow ties and large buttons, a ribbed baby bonnet, and striped afghans with scalloped edges, offering close-range stitch texture, period garment silhouettes, and flat pattern fields.
