Painting With Needles
Table of Contents
To the Romans who cradled culture, all forms of created beauty constituted Art. Fine sewing of all kinds, they called Painting with Needles
.
Today, centuries later, we find millions of American women, those of wealth and those of more modest means alike, also painting with needles. They are expressing the beautiful in colorful yarns, and perpetuating culture with their crocheted creations made for the comfort and pleasure of gracious living.
And it is more than art! Women have learned and are learning how to dress better for less and how to adorn their homes with practical, yet lovely, articles of usefulness.
Crocheting with Dexter Cotton Warp is, in a sense, the fair flower of an art that our great-grandmas practiced not alone for pleasure, but with an eye to the practical—the art of the weaving of rugs. Their yarns were not so fine and lovely as of today, nor so amazingly easy to work with. But then, as now, women found pride and delight in the home-arts, and now crocheting, the art of the hour, flaunts many of the exquisite designs that have survived those early rugs.
You who love to crochet seek of course the most beautiful and authentic designs, and finest materials to work with. This Book is for you. In it you will find fascinating variety, and you will meet as from the pages of history patterns originally conceived by Colonial grandames, or Spanish senoras, or Bavarian peasants—designs from all over the world. You will find the instructions simple and easy to follow. Choose, and know the thrill of superior crocheting. Save money. And feel free, please, to make us your crocheting headquarters. We shall always be glad to serve you.

DEXTER COTTON WARP, ART. 380
A Century of Service Weaves Beauty and Long Life Into Your Crocheting!
For one hundred and twenty years women of America have used Dexter Cottons.
A hundred and twenty years ago N.G.B. Dexter dreamed of working magic with cotton, and he founded his mills in rugged New England to make that dream come true. His were the first mills in America. Crude the first cotton that came from them, of course, and yet the Dexter stamp of quality was the guarantee of American women that the yarns they wove and spun with, American-made, could not be surpassed by any product of the mills across the seas.
Today American women have that same faith and reliance in the cottons that bear the name of Dexter. Today as never before, there is fulfillment of his early dream. For women are working magic with cotton, they are creating beautiful things with soft lustrous yarns of delicious colors, sensuously lustrous, yet strong and enduring. And today, as never before, the name of Dexter on yarns
