MATERIALS FOR
SUPERIOR CROCHET AND
MACRAMÉ WORK
The success of crochet and macramé work depends largely upon the careful choice of superior materials which are suitable for the work, giving it the clean and finished appearance which is often missing from work that, being made from poor material, has an amateurish appearance. We recommend especially, for cotton crochet work:—
Bucilla Crochet
Bear Macramé
Bucilla Crochet
A smooth working, highly mercerized cotton suitable for making laces, center pieces, belts, purses, bed spreads, etc. White and ecru are made in fifteen sizes and the fifteen beautiful colors are made in four or more sizes. This is an American product and superior to all the imported articles that have been offered heretofore.
Bear Macramé
Is a heavier, mercerized, hard twisted cord suitable for all kinds of Macramé work as well as for crocheting. From it are made bags, portieres, table covers, lamp shades, etc. It is much called for by the exclusive trade.
Glossilla Crochet
Resembles the finest silk crochet thread, is more lustrous and retains its luster under all circumstances. It is used for neckties, belts, bags, etc.; is put up in convenient cartons from which the thread can be drawn while working, the remainder being entirely protected by the transparent shell. Each carton contains enough material for one necktie or belt.
This carton has been patented.
Klondyke Thread
Is a soft metal thread for crocheting. It comes in a rich, bright gold color, also in aluminum, antique gold and antique silver. It is superior to all metal threads on the market; does not tarnish easily and is most satisfactory for working purposes.
