Instructions by Mrs. Gordon C. MacDonald for weaving a four-harness sampler that combines eleven threadings on one warp, each with its classic tie-up and treadling, plus further treadlings on other tie-ups. It gives the warp and weft specifications (Lily mercerized pearl cotton, 40-inch and 30-inch widths), warping sequence, heddle counts, short threading drafts, tie-ups for counterbalance and jack looms, and treadling sequences. A foldout chart shows the finished sampler layout.
