A Japanese Commercial Knitting Sampler: 1970s

1970s 10" x 17 1/4", 25.5 cm x 44 cm This charming sampler is from 1970s Japan and it is from a company who manufactured machine knitted items. It is reminiscent of Gerhard Richter's color chart paintings and this charming visual association adds interest to this curiously attractive, old knitting sampler. This would make an intriguing artwork to frame or hang on the wall and certainly it contains enough visual interest to sustain one's interest over the course of a long while.
