Patons and Baldwins was formed
in 1920 by an amalgamation of two textile firms; John Paton Son and Company, of
Alloa, Scotland and J&J Baldwin and Partners of Halifax, England. This would
appear to be one of the earlier Woolcraft books from that era. |
The book contains chapters about:
-
Materials and instructions regarding wools, needles and
hooks, and use of a Teazle Brush. Many of the patterns in this
book call for Teazle wool which is brushed to give a fluffy look
to garments. According to the book, many knitters prefer not to
brush the Teazle wool as it looks beautiful in its original form.
- First Lessons in Knitting covering casting on, knitting
in rounds, tension, slipping a stitch, knitting plain, purling,
casting off, grafting, decreasing, increasing and has pictures and
instructions for the various pattern stitches.
- First Lessons in Crochet covering single, double,
treble, long treble, joining plus a description of different
pattern stitches.
