Page 1, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
A January 1946 Handweaving News article by Nellie Sargent Johnson on a four-block, eight-harness double weave. It repeats Cornelia Stone's pattern from The Weaver (August 1941), which she traced to Absalom Hecht's 1849 Baltimore weaving instruction book. It gives threading drafts, tie-ups, warp and weft suggestions, and sett information for linen, mercerized cotton and carpet warp, plus four-harness adaptations. The last page lists four weft experiments by Beatrice Carrothers, including rug filler, raffia and heavy doubled weft variations.
