WITHOUT PUCKERING
HOW TO MEND KNITTED WEAR. Lay a piece of similar knitted fabric under the hole, and put both pieces together into an embroidery frame, stretching only enough to make smooth. Darn with long stretches of darning cotton. Trim off" the surplus material, from the back, and run down the edges of the patch with darning cotton before removing the hoops. To Wash—lf a little ammonia is added to the water in which white or cream knitted goods are washed, the task will be much easier. This treatment would not do for,coloured goods as the ammonia might spoil the colour. Pockets should be stitched before washing and cotton removed only after the garment has been ironed.
