A short instructional leaflet issued by Gallinger Crafts of Hartland, Michigan, on working with linen yarns in handweaving. It covers round versus singles linen, keeping linen warps damp, a flaxseed warp dressing, finishing linen cloth, and which weave structures suit linen. The remainder is a step-by-step guide to warping on a peg board, beaming the warp, threading the heddles, sleying the reed, tying on and starting to weave, illustrated with line drawings and a rose-path threading example.
