A two-page instructional issue of Handweaving News by Nellie Sargent Johnson, continuing the March issue, on how to take a threading draft and thread it into a four-harness loom. It explains writing out the threading arrangement for 240 warps, counting heddles per harness by groups, and moving heddles between harnesses. It then describes threading in looped groups to avoid mistakes, sleying the reed, and tying on to the cloth beam with even tension. Illustrated with sample photographs, a key draft, a threading draft and four figures.
