[Product Overview]

An original trade sample book from Wisbon Co., Ltd., an embroidery materials specialist based in Ichinomiya, Aichi - one of Japan's historic textile towns - and a regional distributor of Pearl Yacht embroidery threads. This 22-page catalog was made for professional embroidery workshops, with hundreds of real material swatches mounted page by page, each with its item number and specifications. A fascinating resource for embroiderers, textile designers, collage and junk-journal artists, and collectors of textile ephemera - many of the materials are marked "discontinued," making this a record of fabrics no longer in production.
