A 1962 issue of Practical Weaving Suggestions in which Elmer W. Hickman discusses contemporary wool sportswear fabrics woven with Lily Art. 110 and 111 weaving wools. He covers color planning for multiple-color warps, a method he calls "cheating the drafts", finishing wool cloth, estimating yarn for multicolor warps, and weaving with three shuttles. Instruction sheets for nine fabrics (Sand Dune, Bronze Jade, Desert Flower, Blue Night, Brown Onyx, Bonnie Lassie, Gray Mist, Spice Red, Mardi Gras) give warp and weft yarns with color numbers, warping plans, sleying, treadling by harness pairs, and alternate color suggestions, with drafts on most pages.
