Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 121, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 May 1915 — Strengthening Sock Heel. [ARTICLE]

Strengthening Sock Heel.

Strengthening the heel is invaluable in knitting socks and stockings, especially in the socks knitted now for army use. The method recommended as being the best by many authorities is to knit in a thread of silk. This is durable, and not clumsy and liable to contract as is the double wool. Silk is softer than cotton, but a spool of black cotton. No. 20, unglased, will answer the purpose.
