Home Decorations, Book 76 (1936) is a beautiful Depression-era collection from The Spool Cotton Company featuring elegant crocheted tablecloths and home décor items.

The cover showcases a stunning formal lace tablecloth set for a candlelit dinner — the kind of refined, openwork design that defined 1930s American thread crochet. Inside you’ll find additional table linens and decorative pieces worked in fine cotton, perfect for formal dining rooms or special occasions.

These patterns capture the sophisticated yet practical style of the mid-1930s, when handmade tablecloths were both a source of pride and a way to create beauty on a budget. A lovely addition to any collection of early Spool Cotton / Coats booklets.

This particular copy is in remarkable good condition for its age, with only the expected light wear of a nearly 90-year-old booklet. The one exception is that it has been punched with holes for binder storage (a common practice among mid-century crocheters who wanted to keep their favorite books organized).
