A 1904 instruction manual (fourth edition) from the Torchon Lace Company of St. Louis for learning bobbin lace on a cylinder lace loom. It gives general directions on equipment, abbreviations (half-throw, whole-throw, cross, twist) and winding bobbins. It then presents 25 graded lessons, from basic net and hole grounds to edgings and insertions such as Copenhagen, Smyrna, Medici, Maltese, Tondern and Nile lace, each with bobbin counts, thread sizes and pin-by-pin instructions. Photographs of finished samples illustrate each lesson. The end matter describes the Princess bobbin winder and lists prices for materials.
