A 1933 teaching manual on weaving for schools by N. A. Reed, a lecturer for the Board of Education and London County Council, with a foreword by R. R. Tomlinson. It progresses from cardboard looms, simple pattern work and small articles through board, frame, braid and roller looms, tapestry, rug making, spinning, dyeing and small table looms, ending with the pedal loom and pattern weaving. Numbered diagrams and plates illustrate loom construction, warping and projects. Drafts are given for Monksbelt, Rose Path, Honeysuckle, twill and bird-eye patterns, and the book includes advice on materials and on teaching children.
