Story of Sirdar knitting company from its start in Yorkshire in the Gilded Age of 1880 to today but focusing on the vintage knitting patterns from the 1930s, 40s and 50s, with a sprinkling of celebrity and a pioneering woman in the Boardroom. Sir Roger Moore as the big knit and Susan Shaw as well as the starlets the models were evoking. Mrs Jean Tyrrell's successess leading Sirdar until she retired at 75!
This should have been the 9th day of Christmas yarn fairy treats. Other videos in the series can be found under the 12 days of Christmas playlist.
Will one of the patterns inspire your next cast on? Or will you just enjoy the time travel to the 'Golden Age' of film?
