Issue of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club (Vol. 10, No. 2, 1926) with a Hawaiian theme. Gertrude Whiting's article on Lydia Brown reports on the introduction of spinning, weaving and knitting to Hawaiian women in the 1830s, quoting missionary letters and mission minutes and adding notes on cotton growing. Further pieces cover silkworm culture in Hawaii and a photographic series of Hawaiian and South Pacific handicrafts from the Bishop Museum: bamboo printing stamps, tapa beaters, tapa and kapa bark cloth, a feather gorget and a feather cape. The issue also has club notes, an erratum, a field note on Tönder lace in Denmark, club officer lists and period advertisements for lace and silk dealers.
