An issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions reprinting Mary Meigs Atwater's designs for no-tabby weave rugs and tufted rugs, woven with Lily Rug Weave Yarn on a beige carpet warp. It gives materials, sett, threading and tie-up drafts, and pass-by-pass color directions for three 19 x 36 inch rugs (Boy and Girl Figures, Vine and Trellis, Tulip Bed). A final section explains the pick-up tufted rug method on two or four harnesses, with a tuft-making diagram and a bath mat example. The last page is a Lily Mills yarn advertisement.
