A folio of 24 plaid fabric patterns by Elmer W. Hickman, issued under the Onondaga Weavers Guild emblem, with woven swatches mounted on each page and drafts placed beneath them. Each entry gives the warp yarns, warp order, reed and sley, weft, and treadling. Most are tabby plaids; a few are twill or use other treadlings. The last page, titled Tabby Talk, explains the diffused construction in which the warp color counts are rotated to set the weft shot counts (illustrated with Thistle). It also gives helpful hints, thanks to contributing weavers, and a list of yarn suppliers.
