The Columbia book of yarns
The Columbia Book of Yarns is a 1915 Philadelphia knitting and crochet pattern book, compiled by Anna Schumacker and issued by the manufacturers of Columbia yarns for home knitters. The pictures show finished garments and fabric swatches photographed plainly against dark or pale grounds, and a designer might take from them the scalloped crochet edgings, ribbed and chevron knit textures, and tasselled shawl silhouettes.
