Weaver, Vol. 2, No. 4 (October 1937)
Issue of The Weaver, a quarterly published by the yarn and loom maker Emile Bernat & Sons Co. It opens with Elmer Wallace Hickman's instructions for the Norwegian Lynildbordvevning (Lightning weave), a weft-covered technique that builds zigzag diagonals with bobbins, illustrated with color-keyed patterns and step diagrams. Ellis Prentice Cole writes on weaving Navajo-style cloth on two- and four-harness looms. Mary Atwater covers the overshot weave "on opposites" for six harnesses, with drafts and a coverlet plan. Viola Quigley analyzes the technique of early Peruvian textiles in the Field Museum, including lace weave, tapestry, double weave and warp pattern ties. The issue also has Kate Van Cleve on weaving for profit, Atwater's Questions and Answers, Esther Hoagland Gallup on flame-stitch effects on the Rosengang (rosepath) threading, and an advertisement for Bernat Superior Looms.
