The SUNLIGHT Book of Knitting and Crocheting

Experienced knitters and crocheters will appreciate this newest edition of the Sunlight Book of Knitting and Crocheting—because it presents the very latest novelties as well as new ideas for making many articles of unchanging style.

Beginners will find every step made clear by directions as simple and easily understood as though they were demonstrated by a teacher, because the instructions were all written from actual work on the articles.

The illustrations and directions embrace an almost unlimited variety of useful and appreciated articles.

Tiny bootees, afghans, hoods and sacques for the baby—warm skirt or tasseled cap for the little girl—sweater and sturdy mittens for the boy—a skating cap or sweater after a new and natty model for the man—a comfortable shawl or slippers for the grandmother and innumerable fancies from opera capes to bridge and motor jackets for the friend.

That the hours of work on any article may not go for naught with its first washing, it is imperative to select yarns that have proven trustworthy.

Sunlight Yarns have for many years been recognized as meeting all the requirements of satisfactory work, lasting colors and long wear.

There is a SUNLIGHT Yarn for every kind of Knitting and Crocheting

=SUNLIGHT Golf Yarn= is a four-ply, lofty yarn of hard wearing quality, made in a line of heather shades and brilliant colorings, especially suitable for golf jackets, stockings, toques, children’s sweater coats, caps, etc.

=SUNLIGHT German Knitting Worsted= is well known for its extreme wearing qualities. The greatest of care is exercised to produce a round, even thread with just the right amount of twist to make it knit up well. It is made in a full line of colors, prints and mixtures, and is used for knitting hose, gloves, sweaters and other articles that must stand wear and great exposure.

=SUNLIGHT Four-fold Germantown= is ideal for crocheting and knitting sport scarfs, afghans, slippers, toques, aviation caps, shawls, fine sweaters, mufflers, tying comforts, and innumerable other beautiful and serviceable articles.

Only the finest selection of wools of just the right quality is used in this yarn, and it is carefully spun and twisted to produce just the proper degree of soft, even loftiness and elasticity.

It is made in a wide range of shades covering every possible requirement from the most delicate to the heaviest staple shades and all the newest colors in popular favor.

=SUNLIGHT Eight-fold Germantown= is the same in its general characteristics as the four-fold Germantown, except that the thread is about twice as heavy. It is especially good for making toques, aviation caps, heavy sweaters, afghans, slumber robes, etc.

=SUNLIGHT Saxony= is a fine, soft, three-ply thread, smoothly and evenly spun, made in a complete line of shadings. Only the finest of wools go into this soft yarn, which is ideal for making children’s stockings, soft gloves and mittens, fascinators, infants’ crocheted skirts and hoods, bootees, trimming hoods, children’s coats, shawls, etc.

=SUNLIGHT Spanish Worsted=—four-ply—is made of a special selection of fine, hard wearing wools. It is spun into a finer thread than the German Knitting Worsted, is used for much the same purposes, but is particularly adapted for knitting gloves and mittens, men’s socks, women’s stockings, sweaters, etc. Sunlight Spanish Worsted is made in a complete line of colors and mixtures.

=SUNLIGHT Shetland Floss= is a very lofty, fluffy yarn, soft, evenly spun. It comes in a beautiful line of shades and makes up well into fine fascinators, sport scarfs, women’s sweaters, circular shawls, baby jackets, toques, women’s kimonas, and many other articles.

=SUNLIGHT Eiderdown Wool= is a soft, fluffy, round strand, used for crocheting toques, aviation caps, auto caps, and for baby afghans.

=SUNLIGHT Pompadour Wool= is a soft, fine thread yarn with a strand of silk running through it. It works up very effectively in dainty automobile hoods, scarfs, shawls, fascinators and baby garments.

=SUNLIGHT Shetland Wool= is a two-ply yarn, finer spun than Saxony and very soft. It comes in a line of delicate colors and is used for infants’ sacques and bootees, women’s scarfs, shawls, etc.

=SUNLIGHT Alliance Worsted= is a very fine knitting yarn, made soft, lofty and yielding. Its uses are about the same as the Spanish and the German Knitting Worsted, but the effect is much softer. Made in black and white only.

=SUNLIGHT Fairy Floss= is a soft yarn of the nature of a Shetland Floss, crimped to give it a wavy effect. It is used for shoulder wraps, shawls, fascinators, kimonas, etc.

=SUNLIGHT Coral Yarn= is a fine, soft, round yarn with a very noticeable spiral twist. It is used for infants’ mitts, bootees and jackets.
