A Lily Mills leaflet in the Practical Weaving Suggestions series, with sixteen sample swatches designed by Lili Blumenau. The opening sections discuss yarn qualities, weave structure and color interaction. Sixteen samples follow, all woven on one gold and black alternating warp (15 ends per inch, 120 ends, four-shaft straight threading, direct tie-up), grouped as tabby, even-sided twill, weft twill and mixed basket/plain weaves. Each sample lists its weft yarn sequence, Lily Mills article numbers and colors, and shaft order, with brief design comments. No weaving drafts are shown; swatch photographs illustrate the samples.
