A self-published folio of 24 mounted tweed and suiting fabric samples by Elmer Wallace Hickman, each with a standard four-shaft tie-up, threading draft, warp and weft yarn specifications, reed sleying, treadling and finishing notes. The samples (e.g. Spring Song, Woodpecker, Blue Nylon Check, Purple Iris, Silver Birch, Town and Country Plaid) are mostly twill or tabby on 4 shafts, using nubby, boucle, mohair and silk tweed wefts with worsted warps. A "Tabby Talk" page lists yarn suppliers, extra threading and treadling variations for 2/16 Botany yarns, and advice on laundering and steam pressing yardages.
