A three-page article from Handweaving News, August 1941, in which Nellie Sargent Johnson gives practical advice on choosing a handloom. She covers the weaver's needs, school use, cost, space, buying from reputable makers, and construction points such as heddles, warp beams, ratchets, and treadles. She also compares two-harness and four-harness looms, including table, floor, and folding types, and names specific makers and prices of the period.
