NEW PUBLICATIONS

B-SW048 Captain Jutsum – Knots and Splices
The Interlacings Shown in Separate Colours. With Tables of Strenghts of Ropes, Etc., and Wire Rigging. All about ropes, whipping the ends, knots in all shapes and forms, splices, purchases (not buying things, but hoisting loads with blocks and tackles), and odds and ends such as the decorative Turk’s Head, how to fit flags together (for signaling purposes), barrel slings and mousing hooks. All used for nautical purposes but some items quite familiar to needleworkers.
Scans donated and edited by Sytske Wijnsma.

Square repeating filet pattern with roses and leaves and some smaller flowers. Three medals are shown at the top, the latest 1849. Sajou is described as producer of patterns for tapestry, embroidery, and various other crafts.
From the collection of Marleen van Horssen, edited and charted by Sytske Wijnsma.
