VINTAGE FLEISHER YARN PATTERN BOOKS AND BOOKLETS LIST

First posted September 22, 2022.  November update:  I was researching missing books by searching copyright records and added clips of those as placeholders.  Ended up going overboard and adding all other copyright clips I came across 😉

 

COVER PICTURE TITLE VOLUME, EDITION OR BOOK NUMBER DATE KNOWN PATTERN NUMBERS

In 1893, Fleisher Worsted Works advertised its knitting and crochet manuals available by mailing “three inside ticket … with 11c to cover postage” to their address. Presumably, these tickets were small slips of paper found inside the yarn rolls.

Books below here were published using the “Bear Brand and Fleisher Yarns” tagline, and the volume numbers seem to have been reset or changed; or perhaps they started using volume numbers per type of book. I’ve not figured out the sequencing style quite yet (also haven’t spent a lot of time looking into it yet, too, lol). The sequencing of pattern numbers also seems to have changed. (Perhaps the pattern numbering was changed to Bear Brand’s corporate numbering system?  Copyright changed to Bernhard Ulmann Co., Inc., looks like Fleisher was bought out by Bernhard Ulmann sometime before September 1956.

Looks like they “reset” the volume numbers again around this point in time (around 1967 or 1968), and pattern numbers are not in sequence from the 1960-1966 books. (Ahh, I think these are after joinder with Botany yarn brand? May move all the ones with Botany down below here, thinking.)
