A Lily Mills leaflet by Berta Frey on weaving a patterned warp-faced rep as an upholstery fabric on four harnesses. It covers yarn choices (pearl cotton and floss warp, heavy and fine weft), sleying and reed choices, take-up, tension, the threading draft, treadling order for sections A-D, and finishing by steam pressing. It also gives the statistics of the illustrated piece, four color combinations, and Lily yarn color charts for Art. 114 and Art. 814.
