Correct me if I am wrong... sadly I was not taught to sew!!! I am thinking of learning actually!
It is my understanding that these items are for darning stockings? Is that correct?

It seems they were used for making crocheted buttons (Google tutorials) and I saw light lace curtains hung on these too!

The stocking darkness were not for nylon or silk stocking. I think only for woolens.
I don't know what stocking darkness is - clearly my tablet doesn't like stockings.
I meant darners!
Ahhhhh ha..... nowwe may know about this embroidary framed village i have with crochet flowers... and i cant sew at all.... phooey... may have to learn!,
Not always crochet - there's a sewing technique for what are called "death head buttons".
