Volume 9, number 1 (1925) of the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club, a New York society for needlework and lace. The main article is Philip Ainsworth Means's study of ten ancient Andean textiles from his own collection, covering Andean fibers, dyes, and decorative art. It describes tapestry, the kelim (returned weft) technique, brocade and double-faced cloth, and includes Crawford's diagrams of weft interlocking. The issue also has Part II of Mrs. Lockwood's American Colonial Needlework (crewel work, petit point chair seats, quilting, memorial pictures) and Gertrude Whiting's article on Hawaiian netted feather robes and helmets. It closes with Club Notes, Guild Notes, and Book Notes, including a notice of Mary Meigs Atwater's pattern book of John Landes drawings, plus advertisements for lace and embroidery shops.
