Instruction manual (Series D) from the Newcomb Loom Co. of Davenport, Iowa, for assembling and using the Weaver's Friend two-harness carpet and rug loom with a sectional warp beam. It covers loom setup, tension and brake, warping on the spool rack, beaming, threading the harness and reed, weaving and measuring, reed tables, and preparing rags. The second half gives striped, honeycomb, checkerboard, snowdrop, seersucker and Pennsylvania-style carpet designs, rag and fluff rugs (including fluff rugs made from old Ingrain and Brussels carpet), borders, and other items such as curtains, pillow covers, fly nets and hammocks. It opens with a weaver's dictionary and closes with advertisements for the company's frayers, carpet cutter and cutting table.
