Folio 1 of Elmer Wallace Hickman's series presents ten hand-woven textile designs with yarn lists, threading, sleying, treadling and weaving notes. The projects are place mats, napkins, drapery and upholstery fabrics, a handbag material and a coverlet fabric, and most use four shafts. Included are Raspberry Sundae, Peasant Holiday, Snowflake, Golden Pheasant, Fantasia, Gray Dawn, Twinkle Lite (a 3-shaft Swedish Krokbragd draft), Coral Sea, Winter Moon and Wedgwood (8-shaft). Most designs have a photograph and a draft, and there are color suggestions, notes on handling metal and novelty yarns, and a section on Dutch warping of a plain beam single-handed. Plates of stripe layouts for drapes and a closing "Tabby Talk" note on the binder and the Scandinavian Art Weaving Packets complete the folio.
