This talk is only indirectly concerned with the sea. The yarns and cables are those met with in the art of knitting. Mrs. Thompson has made a specialised study of the history and traditions of English knitting, and has discovered an interesting story in the knitted guernseys worked by Yorkshire fisherfolk. Many places have their own traditional patterns and stitches, and much seafaring lore goes to the making of these designs.
