A two-page instruction sheet by Nellie Sargent Johnson on weaving tufted rugs, a plain-weave technique in which loops of double weft are picked up over a metal rod. It covers materials (rug filler and soft cotton), the picking-up method, edge treatment, and tips for threading. Three grid-style rug pattern designs are given for the table model Hearthside loom (214 warp threads), with yarn quantities and measurements.
