Grace Whittier Ferris describes teaching card weaving to girls at an art-preparatory summer camp, where weaving was done on cardboard cards without looms. She gives practical instructions for making the card loom (cutting, scoring, and punching the board, warping with handspun wool over cords, folding and tying) and for weaving a utility bag in tapestry technique with rug wool. She also covers design, color choice, the slit tapestry method, finishing, lining, and cords, with photographs of finished bags.
