A Lily Mills Company leaflet by Heather G. Thorpe giving instructions for weaving heavy washable bath or bedroom mats on a four-shaft loom using the overshot draft "Pine Cone." It specifies warp, sett, width, and yarns (Lily rug filler and carpet warp), and gives treadling directions for four mat variations, including a twill treadling, a diamond variation, an "opposites" stripe, and a version with table, star and rose elements and a knotted fringe. Photographs of the finished mats and a tie-up and draft are included.
