Sobritto?

I thought I had a good knowledge of many
types of needlework, knitting, crochet etc.,
but I have never heard of "Sobritto".
I was wondering if anyone might be able to
tell me what this is?
A quick look on the internet came up
empty.
The above vintage advertisement for
WM Briggs & Co. shows three books
published on the subject.
Added later - well, on further seeking,
I have now discovered that "Sobritto"
is the name of a type of rayon yarn with
which to crochet. Not so much of a technique
but a brand name.

I was looking through my vintage magazines

I thought that you might like to try this one.
It comes from the vintage magazine pictured
above - "The New Idea" November 22, 1935.

Vintage Little Girl's Knitting Book

Here is a delightful vintage book -
The Little Girl's Knitting & Crochet Book
edited by Flora Klickmann
Instead of showing a lot of the patterns
found in the book, I thought that I
would show you a lot of the lovely
images of little girls knitting.

A Little Look at Wool Ads

The advertisements shown here all appear
in the Weldon's Practical Needlwork
publications - such as -

....etc.

They are from the 1930's.
