A 1949 Shuttle-Craft Guild guide by Harriet C. Douglas to weaving woolen and worsted yardages, especially tweeds and twills for clothing. It covers the history of wool and tweed, yarn types and sizes, a glossary of wool textile terms (Glen plaid, Dornik, Shepherd's check, tartans), warp calculation, setting, beaming, weaving, selvages, broken warps and finishing. Six pages of numbered drafts and drawdowns (four- to eight-shaft twills, herringbones, dornicks, modified twills, and multiple-color twills) are followed by a reference list of Shuttle-Craft Bulletins and other sources.
