A leaflet in the Lily Mills Practical Weaving Suggestions series by Nell Steedsman, describing a four-frame huck variation inspired by a six-frame spot weave in fine linen. It explains the structure, including double or triple ends on pattern frames and a 50/50 balance, then gives drafts for an afghan, two cushion tops, glass curtains, dress fabric, and a patio runner and mats. Each project lists Lily yarns, reed, threading and treadling, with rising shed and counter-balanced drafts and photographs of samples.
