A Dryad Handicrafts booklet introducing tablet (card) weaving for beginners, with an introduction by H. H. Peach on the craft's history and geographic spread. It covers materials, tablets, shuttles, beaters and simple looms, then explains threading and quarter-turn sequences. Nine graded patterns are given on squared-paper charts with threading tables, from two-way black and white bands to a three-colour pattern and a broader braid after van Gennep and Jéquier. Photographs show tablet-woven bands, tablets and equipment from Bikanir, Russia and elsewhere, plus a Viking-age grave excavation. A bibliography of works on tablet weaving is included.
