A Lily Mills promotional booklet by Harriet Douglas Tidball of the Shuttle Craft Guild on planning a 30 to 60 yard sectional warp of 24/2 cotton threaded to a 2-block, 4-harness Summer and Winter draft. It explains the six textures woven on that threading (tabby, plain weave, pattern, background, rotation weaves and polychrome) with treadling directions. It then suggests ten projects: aprons, skirts, dress and shirt fabrics, table mats, buffet rolls, napkins, curtains, towels and bags. Detailed weaving directions are given for four aprons and a 16-border sampler, with Lily yarn article and color numbers.
