June 1918 issue of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club, a New York society of lace and needlework collectors. It contains Charles E. Pellew's article on mediaeval dyestuffs (madder, kermes, cochineal, woad, indigo, iron buff and black dyes), Marian Hague's notes on laces with hunting subjects, a report on a loan exhibit of laces at the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, and Frances Morris's article on fifteenth-century Umbrian weaves and the Renaissance household loom. Field notes cover lace-making in war-zone France, Belgium and Italy and the revival of spinning in America, followed by club notes, a members list, an appeal to support refugee child lace-makers, and a club 'rag market'. The issue has many plates of laces, a 1766 sampler and a filet pattern, plus advertisements from lace and needlework dealers.
