Tables of Tomorrow, Book No. 135 (circa 1939) is a sophisticated late-1930s collection from The Spool Cotton Company featuring elegant crocheted tablecloths designed for the modern dining table.

The cover stars the striking Crystal Web No. 7139, a large formal tablecloth worked in open geometric “web” motifs and shown set with fine china, crystal, and tall candles for a gracious dinner. Inside you’ll find additional tablecloth designs that capture the refined, openwork style of the period.

These patterns use traditional bedspread-weight crochet cotton and steel hooks, producing the crisp, heirloom-quality linens that defined late-Depression and pre-war American homes. A lovely example of 1930s elegance.
