An issue of Lily Mills' "Practical Weaving Suggestions" bulletin in which Col. John S. Fishback describes a color blanket or sampler woven with Lily Art. 3343 rayon-jute novelty yarn, crossing each color with every other in plain weave and a Maltese Cross variant. He also discusses how warp and weft crimp and tension affect blended color. The issue also gives drafts, materials and sett for four sets of place mats by Geraldine Wood, using the novelty yarn with Lily linen warp and weft in twill, tabby, huck and summer and winter.
