*** Unlike other antique pattern sellers Dakota
Prairie Treasures stands alone in providing our especially created yarn,
threads, needle and hooks conversion charts with every antique crochet and
knitting pattern product! We diligently researched and created our 4-page
Victorian Needlework Guide to assist you in selecting the correct modern
equivalent of yarns, threads, needles and hooks to accurately
recreate most historical 19th Century patterns.
Our unique copyrighted Victorian Needlework Guide contains 4 Help
Sections:
Section 1) contains 3 very detailed yarn, knitting
needle and crochet hook conversion charts. Example; If your Civil War era
pattern uses "Double Berlin Wool," you will know that the modern yarn equivalent
is "Worsted or Mohair," etc.
Section 2) contains Civil War Era (1867) crochet
work instructions which includes everything from "Position of the hands in
crochet," various stitch instructions, working with several colors, working over
cord, crocheting with beads, making "Jeweled (beaded) D'Oyleys,"
"Contractions in Crochet," how to "Increase the Size of an Engraved Pattern,"
and more!
Section 3) contains Civil War Era (1868) "Explanation
of Contractions used in Crochet, Tatting, Knitting, etc." plus "Printer's
Marks" used as needlework instruction abbreviations.
Section 4) contains Victorian Era (c1880's)
"Actual-Size" images of bone and amber crochet hooks, plus "Actual-Size"
wood, bone, amber and steel knitting needles. Example; Your project recommends
size No. 1 bone knitting needles, What do you do? With our Guide, you can
quickly, easily and accurately compare what needles you have on hand
by placing them over the image of the size No. 1 bone needle until you find one
that matches the image's gauge size. Plus, our charts carry easily to the
craft shop when you are hunting to find just the right size needle or
hook in case you find you don't have the size needed in your home
stash.
