Book No. 3 of Barbour's Prize Needle-Work Series, issued in 1894 by the Barbour Brothers Company to promote Barbour's Irish flax threads. It reports the prize awards from Book No. 2 and then gives prize-winning patterns contributed by readers in six departments. These cover knitted and crocheted lace, tatting, mitts, slippers, a tennis belt, doilies and tidies, macramé, bobbin lace with pillow and ground instructions, darned net, cross-stitch, outline embroidery and Old English point. Patterns are written in abbreviated stitch notation and illustrated with photographs and a few pinning diagrams. It ends with notes on washing embroidery and advertisements for Barbour's threads.
