Sample pages
Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
A three-page issue of Handweaving News in which Nellie S. Johnson describes Peruvian brocades she collected in Peru. She gives details of warp and weft fibers, thread counts, colors and motifs (interlocked heads, small faces, birds, fish), with pattern-weft drafts on cross-section paper for several pieces. She suggests adapting the designs as borders on a two-harness loom such as the Hearthside loom, with plain weave shots between pattern shots.
