It covers unpacking and moving the loom, a glossary of weaving terms, weaving technique, warping at 12 and 10 threads per inch, simple threading variations (basket, checkerboard, honeycomb), and preparing, sewing, dyeing and winding rags. Later sections give instructions for Colonial rugs, borders, fluff rugs from old carpet, pillows, portieres, bags and blankets, followed by advice on advertising, pricing and expanding a home weaving business.
