How to use Florence knitting silk
A trade pamphlet from 1880 issued by the Nonotuck Silk Company of Florence, Massachusetts, printed in Boston by Forbes Lithograph Manufacturing Company, to show customers how to knit with its Florence knitting silk. The four pictures are white-on-black crocheted and knitted edgings in scalloped, looped and openwork patterns, showing how fine silk thread forms lace borders that a designer could adapt for trims, frames or decorative bands.
