A 1928 article by Grace Corbett Reed describing a "raised" weave, an Italian-style treatment of Colonial overshot threadings. The pattern treadles are woven in order 1-2-3-4 with no tabby, using four shuttles in graded shades to give shaded vertical stripes that cover the warp. It gives three drafts (including a floor mat and a "Honeysuckle" baby blanket), sett and yarn recommendations, pattern border treadling directions and color number charts. A short second piece covers two-harness basket weaves in linen floss, with sett, treadling and color suggestions.
