An issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions in which Lucy Morgan, director of Penland School of Handicrafts, describes weaving two plain-weave cotton dresses inspired by Danish designer Cis Fink's costumes. She gives yarn specifications, reed and treadle setup, and step-by-step directions for laying in butterfly and wreath motifs with floss and novelty yarn. Two charts show the unit-by-unit laying-in of each motif, and a back-page note lists the Lily yarns used.
