How To Secure Your Yarn Without Cost
The women of America are knitting as never before. In the social set, no
gathering can be fashionable that does not tolerate knitting; the
business woman must needs knit on the car to and from her work; while to
the busy housewife no duty is so imperative as to exclude knitting from
the daily routine. It almost seems as if the women of America--all
women, rich and poor alike--were devoting their united efforts to one
vast universal consecration--the comfort of our boys over there.
There is just one drawback to the fulfilment of this noble ambition that
every woman in America shall devote every spare moment to the knitting
of warm sweaters, stockings, and other comforts for the boys in khaki,
and that is--the tremendously high price of worsted yarns. We can all
squeeze out a little more time but we can none of us spend more money
than we have, and in these times the calls for cash donations are urgent
and not infrequent. But now you can have all the yarn that you will use
without spending any money. A little more time is now the only essential
to your doing your bit for the comfort of those who are offering their
all for our safety. You who have been unable to knit as much as you have
wanted to, because you have lacked the means to do with, need feel that
drawback no longer. Needlecraft has provided
~An assured supply of Knitting-Worsted in the Regulation Blue, Gray and
Khaki which you can secure without cost by getting subscriptions to
Needlecraft on the following liberal terms:~
Send us only ~10~ yearly subscriptions to Needlecraft at our regular
subscription-price of ~35 cents~ each, and we will send each subscriber
this paper one year, and we will send you, prepaid, one
one-quarter-pound skein of Knitting-Worsted (Premium No. 6395). (We
reserve the right to provide an equal weight in balls instead of skeins
if necessary.)
NOTE--To those who prefer Knitting-Worsted of some other color for a
lady's sweater or any purpose whatever, we will provide it on the
same liberal terms; or if you prefer finer yarns we will provide
Germantown Zephyr at four subscriptions a skein (Premium No. 6396),
and Shetland Floss at three subscriptions a skein (Premium No.
6397).
