A compilation by Nancy M. McKenna of the monthly newsletter Handweaving News, written by Detroit weaving teacher Nellie Sargent Johnson from the 1930s to the 1950s. It opens with a short biography of Johnson and a history of the Sears Hearthside Loom. The bulk is reprinted newsletter issues with lessons on design, color, key drafts and threading drafts for overshot, summer and winter, crackle, M's and O's, Bronson, lace weaves and double weave. Other issues cover soumak, flossa and rya rugs, Peruvian and Guatemalan textiles, laid-in techniques, belts, looms, and weaving as a business, with many draft and technique diagrams.
