Sample pages
Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
A three-page instruction sheet by Nellie Sargent Johnson on slip stick weaving, a pick-up method of pattern weaving that uses shed sticks which slip past one another behind the heddles. It explains how to read her S/X draft notation, how to pick up and tag the sticks, and how to weave borders with pattern and plain weft shots in overshot fashion. It also gives suggestions for color, fine linen settings, and substitute heddle rods for looms with short heddle eyes. Page 3 has three threading drafts with drawings of the woven effects.
