Folio 3 of Elmer Wallace Hickman's 'New Weaves from Old' series gives instruction sheets for 18 woven samples, mostly four-shaft fabrics. Each entry lists warp, weft, threading, sleying and treadling, with a small draft, a photo of the sample and the author's comments on yarns, uses and finishing. The folio emphasizes patterned fabrics and spaced-warp weaves (Slat Happy, Sunburst, Normandy, Spring Bouquet), and also covers crackle, overshot-derived and bound weaves, Half-Krabba, upholstery and drapery fabrics, and novelty, metallic and nylon yarns. The back pages give a dyeing process for wool/rayon yarn and a list of the author's available publications.
