Mary Meigs Atwater introduces the Finnweave, a method of weaving pattern-figured double plain cloth on an ordinary four-harness loom, to American weavers. She explains the equipment (round stick, pattern stick, shed-stick), yarn choice and sett, and step-by-step instructions for weaving plain stripes and pattern rows on treadle and Structo looms. The article includes a threading and tie-up diagram, a worked bag pattern, borders, a coverlet pattern, and two figure motifs (a trumpeter and a peasant woman) adapted from an old Finnish piece.
