A five-page "Crafts" column from Current Literature (1901) that reprints several short pieces on hand-made textiles. They cover hand-tufted Turkish-style carpets made by Donegal girls at Killybegs, Ireland; Filipino fibre fabrics (pineapple "jusi", coconut, hemp); a Maine rug-making venture at Centre Lovell, with spinning, warping, hand-weaving, hooked pile and plant dyeing; and Scottish Highland homespun, including distaff-and-spindle spinning, plant dyes and communal waulking. The pieces are descriptive and economic, with no weaving drafts.
