Star Needlework Journal 1920 Granny's Box contained a 1951-52 copy of The Star Needlework Journal. This journal originated in 1916 and was published by the Thread Agency. The American Thread Company of New York was one of the first thread producing mills in the United States introducing cotton thread. The publication of this journal was a means to advertise and introduce the availability of patterns and needlework notions. The cost was 10 cents per issue, or 40 cents for an annual subscription. The journal contained numerous items of interests for needlework enthusiasts including patterns for crochet, tatting and knitting.
