Instruction manual from the Chicago Park District's Modern Recreation Series (1936) on honeycomb weaving, a recreational craft in which mercerized cotton thread is wound around nails on a wooden frame, tied at the intersections, and worked with spider-web rosette designs to make mats, pillow covers and centerpieces. It covers winding and tying on hexagonal frames, then on square and oblong frames, and how to remove the finished work. It ends with bills of materials and construction drawings for making the frames.
