A Belding Lily Company booklet by Sylvia Domingo Pocock explaining how to combine two four-harness threadings (for example overshot with Summer and Winter, or Monks Belt, or Bronson) into a single eight-harness threading, so that either original draft can be woven without rethreading. It gives step-by-step instructions for building the integrated threading, the equivalent tie-ups and the treadling. Project directions follow with materials, sett and treadling for a sampler, Christmas runner, Jeanne's runner, Monks Belt and Summer and Winter runners, and a Bronson and overshot piece. It closes with a woven quilt that uses the same method with thirteen and seventeen harnesses.
