A four-page July 1939 issue of Handweaving News by Nellie Sargent Johnson presenting several four-harness threading drafts for small pieces. It gives drafts for a small three-block pattern by Erma Cox, 'Lindy's Invitation' by Ruth Lindeman, and 'The Spider's Web' by Lillian Dowley, with warp counts for different widths, sett, yarn sizes and lever or treadle weaving sequences. Photographs show a place mat border with napkin, a green fabric sample and a silk and gold thread bag, with color and picked-up motif notes.
