A folio of instruction sheets by Elmer W. Hickman for 24 handwoven table linen fabrics woven on four shafts, mostly twills, Norsk huck-a-back, and tabby/texture weaves. Each entry gives a threading and tie-up draft, warp and weft yarn specifications with sources, sleying in a No. 12 or 15 reed, and treadling, often combining linen with metallic and rayon novelty yarns. A cover letter to weavers and a 'Tabby Talk' section discuss yarn suppliers, handling heavy rayon yarns, multiple-warp construction and borders. Photographs of the woven samples appear with the drafts and on the last pages.
