A two-page instructional leaflet by Nellie Sargent Johnson on weaving gauze or leno, a free pick-up technique done on a plain weave shed. It lists equipment (a small 13-inch heddle loom, netting shuttle, pickup stick) and suitable carpet warp, cotton or linen threads. Step-by-step directions cover the single stitch, single stitch on the top shed only, staggered single leno, and leno combined with Spanish weave, with photographs and a pickup diagram. It also mentions earlier Handweaving News issues on the subject and includes product prices.
