WVS Green

 D403 WVS Green


There will be a needle thin minute

When the coat button gap will be closed

The lost lies somewhere

On blasted Sidney Street 

But there are trays and tins

Of odd bits and many bobs

Something will fit the hole

It probably went when 

She bent low, lifted high

Caught on a counter Sweep

Mopping the nervy living

There will be a pinsharp minute soon

When the sewing kit and Sylko comes out


Visit Amazon for my book, "Sewing With Sylko - A Treasury":

The Sylko cotton reel is iconic, a symbol of 20th Century sewing and of a slower, less wasteful time. Sarah Miller Walters shares her love of the bobbins and their colour names. She also weaves in the story of Victoria - an ordinary 20th century woman and her life as told by her sewing projects. The book also includes extracts from classic books, colour photographs and original artwork.

The Sylko Label Change Mystery

Image
 You can always tell the older wooden Sylko reels with their white and gold labels. These obviously pre-date the blue and white ones that are better known, because there are no colour names, only numbers and they are less modern in design. The big question for me is when did the changeover take place? When did the colours start to be given names on their labels? I would guess that it took place sometime in the mid-late 1920s. My reasoning is that I have an old style reel with a colour number D229 - this is the highest number that I own with labelling of this type. I also have an advertisement from 1930, stating that at that point in time, there were 280 shades. It is easier to date 1930s shades (see the post on the Colour Council) and at that point around 10 new shades a year were being introduced.  IF that rate was the same in the 1920s, then D229 was introduced in around 1925. But that if is everything. What we need is company documentation. And that still doesn't pinpoint e...

15 Colours Sylko

Image
While studying the history of the Sylko cotton reel, it came to my attention that those colours numbered between 280 and 399 were likely to have been first introduced in the 1930s. An analysis of the basic colours strongly supports something that I already knew - that green was an incredibly popular colour in this decade. Between shade numbers D281 and D399, there are 15 types of green, compared to just 7 of red, 7 of yellow and 11 of brown. Only blue comes close to green, with 13 shades. Overall, blue is the most common Sylko shade over the 6 or 7 decades of the cotton brand's existence - D1 is a blue shade and this remains a popular and safe choice for clothing. I must add that there are some gaps in my list of colours, so there may be even more than 15 shades of green. It certainly had a boost in this period. This observation among the Sylkos was simply a reminder that I do associate the 1930s with the colour green. A darker shade a kind of bottle racing green. Or as Sylko dyers...

The English Sewing Cotton Company Members

Image
  This is an illustration from the 1947 book 'Through the Eye of a Needle" - a 1947 review of 50 years of the English Sewing Cotton Company. It shows the names and locations of all the companies that combined together in order to streamline and strengthen the English Cotton business. This happened as a direct response to the Scottish merger of Clarks and Coats. The root companies blossomed into those 8 outlets shown on the tree. Neilston, Glasgow was where the bobbins were made, while all the packaging was made in Hazel Grove. For a pdf download of the full book, visit my Etsy shop, SewSylko.
