A November 1943 issue of Handweaving News in which Nellie Sargent Johnson describes new uses of "broomstick loom" (one-beam) twining. It gives instructions for making a round rug on a loop ring, with rows of rug knots, added warps and a bound edge. It also covers twining variations for belts and bags: separated warps, twisted single warps, and crossed single and double warps. Line drawings (Figures 1-8) illustrate the steps, and the issue closes with subscription notes and a remark on weaving for rehabilitation of returning soldiers.
