An instruction leaflet by Nellie Sargent Johnson for the "Hearthside" loom, a small portable frame loom about 27 inches wide with a heddle frame that serves as harness and beater. It names the loom's parts, covers choosing yarns and preparing rag or stocking weft, and explains tensioning the warp, winding a shuttle, weaving plain weave, adding new weft and rolling up the cloth. It gives step-by-step directions for three rugs (a blue border rug, a brown and tan rug, and a blue and white arrow-head rug with twisted wefts), plus finishing by hemming or fringing and suggestions for other items to weave.
