An issue of Practical Weaving Suggestions by Elmer W. Hickman on weaving cushions in the Scandinavian bound weaving (bunden vavning) technique, in which weft completely covers the warp to give a tapestry-like fabric. It gives general advice on warp, sett, weft yarns, finishing and pillow forms. It then offers instructions and drafts for five cushion designs: Bargello, Scania, Aurora Borealis, Domino and Moderne. Each includes warp and weft specifications, sley, treadling and color suggestions, using Lily Mills yarns.
