Barbour's linen thread for needlework and crocheting.
A 1926 needlework and crochet pattern booklet issued by the Linen Thread Company of New York to promote its linen thread to home stitchers. The pictures are line diagrams of openwork edges, drawn-thread borders and fringed table linens, with plain labels and sparse shading. A designer could draw on the lattice and loop-edge structures for simple geometric borders, trims and grid textures.
