Book II of Luther Hooper's Weaving with Small Appliances is an instructional manual on tablet (card) weaving for making braids and narrow bands. It covers how the method differs from board-loom weaving, making the tablets and a small weaving stand, warping, mounting and threading the tablets, suitable yarns, and starting to weave plain braid. Later chapters teach ornamental designs: coloured stripes, checkers or dice patterns, checkers with vertical stripes, diagonals and chevrons, and reversing the turn. Many line drawings and coloured plates are included, along with tablet-by-tablet specifications giving threading, turn direction and colours for the plate designs. The book ends with publisher and supplier advertisements.
