An August 1942 issue of Handweaving News in which Nellie Sargent Johnson describes four rugs woven by her Wayne University students. They include a thick cotton rag rug, an interlocked-weft tapestry rag rug, a two-harness heddle-loom rug made on a Sears "Hearthside" loom, and a twill-threaded rug with a stripe design by Mrs. Helen Hill. The text gives materials, sett, warp counts, weft sequences and finishing, with a two-harness threading draft for Rug No. 3 and a design grid for Rug No. 4.
