A November 1944 Handweaving News article by Nellie Sargent Johnson on variations of laid-in technique. It distinguishes laid-in from tapestry, then gives instructions for "laid-in lines" (derived from Peruvian textiles) worked on a Hearthside loom in blue and white cotton with carpet warp. It also describes wrapped laid-in using cut rag strips for rugs and place mats, and a method of laying short strips in the shed to make raised outlines. Four figures illustrate the pattern design, the structure, the wrapped weft and the strip layout.
