Did you know sheep are amazing teachers?? Lots of life lessons learned over the past 20-ish years. I cherish everything about my sheep family and you can read more about their cute selves here…

This listing is for a Minerva Complete Knitting Manual published in 1942. It includes 97 pages of all things knitting! Great instructions for a range of projects from baby items to sweaters- and more. The graphics and illustrations are a treasure. I think it would be a great journal on its own but wow the ephemera if you chose to dismantle the pages. Talk about unique no matter what you decide to use this manual for!

Sheep Notes: Magazine measures 8.5 x 11; soft cover (magazine) includes black and white illustrations; slight wear on the cover but otherwise in great shape. We’ve never seen this magazine and it is the only one we have- don’t miss it! Smooches from the sheep!

Price: $5

I found this folder a while ago and stashed it in my things to do file. However, even if I worked until I was 100, I would never get them all finished! SO, the Wonoco Yarn Price information folder would be a perfect addition to your next journal or even a journal on its own. I planned to create a journal with it- or add it to a binder I have for my favorite ephemera. It is a great bit of history to add to your weaving, yarn spinning, knitting or crochet collection!

All papers are printed front and back. The company is:

Wonoco Yarn Company
371 Grand Street
NY 2, NY

Outside folder is 3 folds - two full size pages (8x11) and one 4x11; the paper is the weight of a standard manila file folder.

Blue Pamphlet: 3 panels/folds; closed measures 5.5 x 10.5; approximately 16 inches folded open.

White Pamphlet: 2 pages; closed measures 8.5 x 11; old mouse damage on right side of the pages; also stain on front.

Wicker is also including a pretty skein of his handspun yarn!
It includes 100 yards/ 1.5 ounces

I hope all you crafters and artists are ready for me to offer up some of my stash? I have been so lucky to find such wonderful magazines and such at very reasonable prices. Because of that, we can offer items at prices that are easy to afford!

These are Needlecraft Magazines from the year 1920. They measure 11” x 16” inches and the covers feature color illustrations. There are 26 pages in each. You will find a variety of articles, patterns and lots of ads. Even a bit of poetry, stories and household tips. Most of the pages are black and white with occasional colored pages. Sometimes there is a color theme throughout for the page headings.

For as old as the magazines are, they are in great shape. There is wear and aging you would expect but the pages are strong. I’ve used them in journals on their own, the paper is quite strong, does not crack if you fold it. You could create your own paper dolls by fussy cutting the illustrations too. The ads make great tags- sky’s the limit here everyone!

I have not had it in me to cut all my copies up - yet. I am admiring some of them for a little while first. In the meantime, I have a LOT of them that I will be offering up a year’s worth at a time. If you would like a list of what I have here, please send us an email.

Sheep’s Notes: You will love the magazines! We’ve posted a picture of the front of each magazine. The page pictures are a variety of what you can find in this brand of magazine. At one time in their lives they were folded in half for storage. The folds are not creased and folding them in half would make them less expensive and easier to ship. They do have a bit of ‘vintage’ aroma but an airing out takes care of that.

Price: $5 each
