Vintage Wooden Sock Darner and 1948 Knitting Socks Booklet

We all know that socks tend to wear through the heels and toes quite easily and this is just as true today as it was many years ago...BUT then many years ago it wasn't easy just to replace those old worn socks with half dozen new pairs, HENCE, the sock darner comes into play... familiar and comfortable to use as you could grasp the handle while stretching the sock taut over the "egg" . This made it so much easier to repair the seams so that they could not be seen or felt. Darning techniques were taught to girls at a young age. This wooden darner with handle in excellent condition was a part of those days and measures approximately 6" in length. Included with the darner is the vintage "Chadwick's Red Heart Wool" 15 page leaflet of "Socks for Men & Women" This lovingly used booklet includes pictures and directions for knitting many different patterned socks. Copyright 1948 (2nd edition).
