Article by Myrtle A. Brown, head of weaving at the Universal School of Handicrafts, on the wide range of materials handweavers can use as yarns, including unconventional ones sourced from millinery, sporting goods, twine and lumber suppliers. It surveys fibers by origin (vegetable, animal, mineral, synthetic) and gives practical remarks on knitting wools, crochet cottons, embroidery flax, straw, nylon cord, silk, ribbons, plastics and Fiberglas, with finishing advice. Twelve photographs of sample textiles are captioned with materials and threadings, and the scan also includes a page of tweed fabric captions, advertisements and 'Personal Mention' profiles.
