An issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions in which Elmer W. Hickman presents nine four-harness decorative fabrics, designed mainly for handbag material but also suited to screens, room dividers and tray or table-top inlays. The introduction covers color planning, the use of metallic yarns, crackle weave and honeycomb-type drafts, and some hints for weaving with metallics. Each design (Silver Butterfly, Pagoda, Morocco, Aztec, Jewel Case, Jade Gem, Copper Sheen, Spring Orchid, Blue Gleam) has a materials list using Lily yarns, a set and warping plan, treadling by harness, color alternatives, and a draft.
