Description:
Needlewoman
and Needlecraft was an amalgamation of two other magazines: Needlecraft,
(first produced 1907), and The Needlewoman, (first produced 1919). It
was a quarterly magazine, and the first issue was published in January
1940. A few issues may have been missed during WWII, hence this issue
is number "71".
In the 1970s it dropped the Needlecraft name, and became simply "Needlewoman";
then during 1977 it was incorporated with Stitchcraft monthly magazine.
Because of this the numbering systems can appear confusing, with 1970s
editions appearing to predate those of the 1930s - however the content
usually makes the era unmistakeable.
