A December 1939 Handweaving News article by Nellie Sargent Johnson describing several ways to weave overshot threading drafts beyond using written treadling directions. It explains weaving "as drawn in", striped pattern-block exercises for beginners, "rose" fashion, "on opposites" with two colors, tabby-free weaving on twill-based patterns, and honeycomb (Halkrus/Spetsväv) treadling. Page 1 includes a key draft and a threading draft, and the text gives Structo loom lever instructions.
