An article by Nellie Sargent Johnson in Handweaving News on weaving rag rugs, covering use of color, colored warps, rag preparation, material estimates, sleying and hem or fringe finishes. It also gives two four-harness rug patterns with threading and treadling directions: a modern four-block overshot rug with rag weft and a crackle weave rug in carpet warp and rug filler. Photographs show three sample rugs, and threading drafts and a drawdown are included.
