A 1933 Handicrafter article by Adele Wyman on making household items from raffia, with illustrations by Alice Harper. It explains wrapping the neck of a Pyrex coffee bottle with twisted raffia, a basket-weave napkin ring woven on a card, three kinds of round mats (punched-card designs, a simple spiral-warp card loom, and an Indian-style coiled mat of raffia-wrapped cord), and a rectangular place mat woven on a Todd adjustable hand loom. The scan also includes two short items on the same page: an announcement of the Penland Weaving Institute and C. J. Burchard's note on balancing the harness of four-harness looms.
