Article describing how to weave modernistic wall hangings ("harness tapestry") on a four-harness loom using the crackle weave, with pattern weft cut from discarded silk stockings and a contrasting binder of wool or silk floss. It explains the structure, warp and binder choices for two hangings woven by J. B. Cathcart, how to cut and wind the stocking weft, how to manage width and draw-in, and finishing. Treadling tables for both illustrations are given, along with a tabby pattern draft and threading draft.
