A November 1937 Handweaving News article by Nellie Sargent Johnson presenting several four-harness and six-harness drafts. It gives a twill-and-rose-path towel pattern drafted from a photograph of early 19th-century wedding linen, with threading and treadling for a 600-thread warp of 40/2 linen. It also gives two patterns by Florence Bratten, including a wide border draft and 'The Dirigibles' in both six-harness summer and winter and four-harness overshot versions, with a drawdown and block weaving order. Suggestions are included for towels, bags and luncheon sets in linen, cotton and silk bouclé.
