Book No. 7 of Barbour's Prize Needle-Work Series, published in 1900 to promote Barbour's Irish flax threads. It collects about 60 patterns contributed by needleworkers, mostly crochet lace, edgings, doilies and bonnets, with knitted lace, tatting, netting, bobbin (torchon) lace, drawn-work, cut-work, Roman embroidery, cross-stitch, Renaissance/Battenburg and point lace. Each entry lists the thread sizes and materials and gives row-by-row instructions with abbreviations, usually with a photograph or drawing of the finished piece. It also contains publisher's notices, an explanation of terms, thread price lists and advertising pages.
