An issue of Practical Weaving Suggestions (Lily Mills) in which Ella S. Bolster presents a Huck-derived variation that looks like honeycomb, with heavy deflected novelty threads in both warp and weft, for casement cloth and curtains. It gives materials, setts, threading drafts, tie-ups for a rising shed loom and treadling for samples I-A, I-B and II, plus Casement Cloth III with random stripe patterns and matching blinds woven with matchstick bamboo. The last page lists Lily unmercerized cotton and novelty yarn colors.
