A leaflet from Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions by Margaret Newman on Satin Honeycomb, a six-harness colonial weave used for white cotton counterpanes. It gives a threading draft, tie-up, treadling, sett and yarn requirements for a 14" x 21" mat, plus advice on tension, beating, draw-in and edges. A second section offers three four-harness honeycomb variations (conventional, reversed tabbies, twill) woven on napkins in perle cotton, and general rules for weaving honeycomb.
