Nellie Sargent Johnson describes an ancient Peruvian textile from her own collection, woven in a double form of brocade with two weft colors (red and golden yellow) on a plain weave ground. She explains how to work the technique with a pick-up stick, how to chart the pattern on cross-section paper, and gives the thread counts and materials of the ancient piece. The article includes an enlarged technique diagram, a pattern chart taken from the textile, and a modern upholstery fabric woven by one of her Wayne University students using the technique.
