Practical Weaving Suggestions, Vol. XXVIII: Planned Weaving for the Handweaver's Wardrobe
A reprinted issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions bulletin explaining the profile system of writing weaving drafts, devised by Helen L. Allen and presented with Osma Gallinger. It contrasts long drafts written with harness numbers against short profiles in which blocks are reduced to units on design rows, and shows how to draw down a pattern on paper and rearrange units to refine a design. The second half applies one 2-row profile to five two-block techniques: patch (on opposite) pattern, Summer and Winter, Bronson lace weave, M's and O's, and 8-harness damask. Each technique gets unit threadings, a weaving plan, texture notes, and Lily yarn suggestions for coarse and fine versions. The last page advertises Lily hand weaving yarns.
