An April 1944 issue of Nellie Sargent Johnson's Handweaving News showing brocade technique used to decorate garments, including a white angora jacket woven by Edythe Cusick and Shetland wool caps woven square. It gives suggestions for vests, bags, hats and scarves, and describes how to pick up brocade rows, weave separate figures in different colors, and break up long weft skips. Page 2 has many charted brocade designs, and page 3 has four simple 4-harness threading drafts (twill, herringbone, rosepath, diamond) for borders, followed by announcements of two small books on vegetable dyes and Pennsylvania Dutch weaving patterns.
