An issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions explaining the profile system of writing weaving drafts, in which each block of a pattern is reduced to a single unit on a row of graph paper. It shows how to draw down a pattern on paper from the profile and how one 2-block design can be woven in five techniques: patch pattern overshot, summer and winter, Bronson lace weave, M's and O's, and 8-harness damask. Each technique has unit threadings, weaving plans, texture notes, and Lily yarn suggestions with sett. The last page is a Lily yarn advertisement.
