International School of Artistic Cluny Laces by Correspondence
Book · 26 pages
A 1912 correspondence-course instruction book on Cluny bobbin lace, published by Paul Kenda & Co. of Tacoma, Washington. It lists the equipment (pillow, spindles, pins, reel, thread) and the series of laces (edges, squares, scarfs, doilies, ovals, collars, cuffs). It then gives step-by-step instructions for patterns 1-19: twists, picot-edged and plain braids, fishes, stars, the Bohemian connection and crochet connections. Photographic plates show the finished lace samples, and short notes on cleaning, ironing and cutting linen close the book.
