A promotional booklet from the Shuttle-Craft Company in which Mary Meigs Atwater presents hand weaving as a revived American craft, a source of income, and a teaching and occupational-therapy field. It describes household textiles, rugs, coverlets and dress fabrics made on the loom, and gives advice on choosing floor looms and table looms. It outlines the Shuttle-Craft correspondence courses, which cover overshot, draft writing, Summer and Winter and double weaves. It also includes Atwater's autobiographical account of becoming a weaver, a list of Shuttle-Craft special drafts for Colonial coverlet patterns, and a few sample drafts.
