A 1944 Handweaving News article by Nellie Sargent Johnson giving step-by-step directions for building and warping a primitive (picture frame) loom, adapted for modern use and rehabilitation work. It covers the frame and dowel rods, winding and spacing the warp, setting up shed sticks and a heddle rod with looped cord heddles, and weaving plain weave (tabby). It closes with advice on keeping edges straight and a note on the loom's possibilities, including tapestry, knot techniques, brocading, gauze weave and twills. Illustrated with photographs and numbered line diagrams.
