A 1958 self-published pamphlet of work sheets for weaving linens, based on early American linen textiles from the author's collection and adapted for modern use. Each sheet gives a draft, tie-up, warp and weft plan, reed and sett, threading plan and weaving plan. The patterns cover broken twill, huck, Ms and Os, Bronson (including a 1817 Bronson draft reproduced), Bronson lace, overshot, summer and winter, Bronson point, novelty twill and double-faced twill. A foreword describes the author's collecting and gives advice on fine linen yarns, colors and place mat sizes.
