A 1929 Handicrafter article in which Roger Millen sorts American coverlets into five classes (four-harness overshot, double-woven, reverse twill, summer and winter, and Jacquard) based on examples from New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. He describes the materials, colors, and structural features that distinguish each type, with illustrations of each, and comments on the history of coverlet weaving and on machine-made imitations. The article closes with a short note on the magazine Mountain Life and Work.
