A six-page leaflet from Lily Mills Company's Practical Weaving Suggestions series (Vol. 3, 1965) on corduroy, a weft pile weave made by cutting overshot pattern floats separated by tabby areas. Frances A. Morgan explains how to cut floats on or off the loom, how sett and float length affect pile, and lists possible uses. It gives a 4-shaft, 26-thread threading and tie-up with counterbalance and jack loom treadlings, followed by eight sample recipes with Lily yarns, colors, sett (18 ends per inch, 9-dent reed double sleyed) and treadling sequences. The cover shows a collage of the samples.
