A short note in the Bulletin of the Needle and Bobbin Club reproducing plates from M. D. C. Crawford's 1916 article on Peruvian textiles, published by the American Museum of Natural History. The plates diagram a leno stripe worked in tapestry, outlining figures by wrapping the warp with an additional black weft, and interlocking weft in a Nazca tapestry. A halftone of a tapestry belt is also included. The brief text suggests these methods as possibilities for weaving members.
