Unlike other antique pattern sellers Dakota Prairie Treasures stands alone in providing our especially created yarn/threads, and needle/hooks conversion charts with every antique crochet and knitting pattern product! We diligently researched and created our 8-page Victorian Needlework Guide to assist you in selecting the correct modern equivalent of yarns, threads, needles and hooks to accurately recreate most historical 19th Century patterns.

Our unique copyrighted Victorian Needlework Guide contains 8 Help Sections:

Chart 1) Victorian (UK) Crochet Stitch Names to Modern Crochet Stitch Equivalents

Chart 2) Victorian (UK & US) Wool Yarn Names to Modern Equivalents + Recommended Modern Needle Sizes

Chart 3) Victorian (UK) Crochet Thread Names to Modern Thread Equivalents + Recommended Hook Sizes

Plus, we have included:

1) Authentic Thread & Yarn s (1857),

for the Silk and Wool Threads and Yarns of the Day

2) Authentic Crochet Stitches s (1867),

3) Authentic Explanations of Contractions used in Crochet, Tatting, Knitting and Netting

with Printer's Marks for Direction for Any Kind of Work (1868)

4) Authentic Actual Size Crochet Hooks Used (1908) includingBone and Amber

5) Authentic Actual Size of Needles Used in Knitting (1908) including Wood, Bone, Amber and Steel

Example: Your project recommends size No. 1 bone knitting needles, what do you do? With our Guide, you can quickly, easily and accurately compare what needles you have on hand by placing them over the image of the size No. 1 bone needle until you find one that matches the image's gauge size. Plus, our guide carries easily to the craft shop when you are hunting to find just the right size needle or hook if you don't have the size needed in your stash. :)

Our customers say:

"Fast shipping. Nice communication. Very helpful person. Thanks a lot!"

"I'm a repeat customer because I am so pleased with my purchases. Thank you!"

An excerpt:

"This is an exquisite little case, and admirable adapted for disposal at fancy fairs."

This item was made using:

"Materials--One gross rings of the smallest size, such as that are sold for small bag rings, or such that steel purse tassels have...One bunch steel beads, No. 6; one and a half yard of very fine black silk twist; a skein of fine black silk; one yard black lute-string ribbon, five inches wide, and a little paste."

You can use any thread color or combination of colors your heart desires!

A experienced needle artist could easily vary the size of rings, numbers of rows, row width, etc., to resize this item for a truly one-of-a-kind living history adornment!

The ladies of earlier times put their hands to such marvelous work and now you can too! These are beautiful items and sure to delight you and yours! These instructions are very clear and easy to follow and yet the experience needle worker will be capable of altering as per individual needs and artistic whim.

The antique and vintage yarns, beads, needles, etc., can be found on Atomic Mall quite readily. You just have to hunt a little bit! :) Or, of course, you can utilize contemporary tools and materials found at a nearby fabric, craft or hobby store…
