Woolcraft - knitting booklet issued by Patons & Baldwins, Alloa and Halifax - 1936
A practical guide to knitting and crochet issued by one of the bigger producers of wool and other sewing accoutrements - Patons & Baldwins. The company had been formed in 1920 when the Alloa concern of Patons merged with the Halifax company of Baldwins - the Patons brand continues today but the actual company (merged its self with Coates in 1960) has now vanished.
I like the simplicity of this cover - very redolent of the 1930s in terms of both imagery and colour - sadly no artist or designer is credited.
