Located in the heart of cotton country, the mill produced premium mercerized cotton threads and yarns (including the iconic Daisy line) prized by crocheters and fiber artists for decades. To showcase their beautiful threads, Lily Mills began publishing elegant instruction booklets and numbered Design Books in the 1930s, continuing through the 1960s. These charming, illustrated publications featured heirloom-quality crochet patterns for doilies, table linens, bedspreads, kitchen sets, pot holders, novelties, and more—helping generations of makers create timeless pieces while promoting the company’s yarns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eToday, these original printed booklets are true collector’s treasures. Each one is a piece of crochet history, filled with mid-century elegance, intricate motifs, filet crochet, and classic American craftsmanship. Because they are vintage originals (not reproductions or digital scans), supplies are extremely limited—we currently have only a small selection in stock and are actively hunting for more to expand the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIf you love authentic vintage patterns, heirloom crochet, or building a library of rare fiber-art ephemera, this is the collection for you.
