Nellie Sargent Johnson describes a form of gauze weave, a loom-woven lace, that she found on an old Roumanian silk head scarf at a 1934 exhibit in Detroit. She explains how a gauze twist is combined with a heavy weft worked in Spanish-stitch fashion, separated by rows of fine plain weave, and she gives the pick-up stick procedure. She also gives her sample's warp and weft materials and sett, and design planning advice using cross-section paper. Photographs show the original scarves and her modern sample, with an enlarged detail and a design drawing.
