Irish Crochet Lace
Th. DeDillmont · c. 1900-1915
Book · 82 pages
A D.M.C Library manual on making Irish crochet lace, edited by Th. de Dillmont. It covers tools and threads, and gives row-by-row instructions for the motifs: wheels, flowerets, leaves, sprays, calyxes and tendrils, all with photographs. Further sections cover picot stitches, crochet network grounds, footings and scalloped borders, and machine-made grounds as substitutes. Seven plates of finished laces come with working directions and thread specifications. The patterns are reproduced as tracings, including full-size versions on linen, and the book ends with D.M.C thread and publication advertisements.

A D.M.C Library album of needle-made lace patterns edited by Th. de Dillmont. It opens with an introduction on the history of needle lace and a short treatise on stitches and tracing. Fifteen plates follow: nine of Reticella patterns, two of imitation Reticella worked with braids, two of Venetian point, and two showing finished articles trimmed with the laces. Each plate has detachable white-on-black patterns at actual scale and tables of D.M.C thread sizes for the tracing, open-work and close stitches, corded bars and buttonhole stitch.
