Basic Project No. 12 from the Terrace Textures series, giving directions for nine handwoven upholstery and drapery warps (Deauville, Petite, Modern American, Fancy Free, Adventure, Bold Journey, Moon Bow, Sun Ray, Color Ray). Each entry gives a design theme, warp and weft yarns with sources, sett, threading, treadling and shots per inch, with photos of woven samples. Most use four-shaft twill-based threadings (Rose-Path, Bird-Eye) and textured yarns such as boucle, chenille, linen and metallics. The final note explains treadlings are for sinking-shed looms.
