Berta Frey's article encourages beginning weavers to learn technique by weaving useful kitchen items, starting with a dozen dish towels. It gives a practice warp recipe (bedspread cotton alternating with 20/3 colored crochet cotton, sleyed at 20 ends per inch, 8/1 slub linen weft, set in Rosepath) and advice on fibers for absorbency. It also covers place mats made from unusual materials and fashionable aprons, including lace-weave aprons in Bronson or leno and ways to finish the gathers and ties. Photographs show a kitchen, aprons, and towels.
