Part Two of Cecelia Cleveland Willard's four-part series on handweaving on loom frames, devoted to the Kircher loom, a small German-made hardwood frame loom with a reed that raises both sheds and serves as a beater. It gives directions for assembling the loom, making and winding a 12-inch linen warp, threading the reed, and weaving plain (tabby) weave. It also covers a striped and patterned border on a luncheon mat in two colors, advancing the warp, and fixing common errors such as threading mistakes and doubled weft. A short note at the end describes a traveling exhibit of bag weaving assembled by Mrs. Nellie S. Johnson of Detroit.
