An article from Handweaving News (July 1946) by Nellie Sargent Johnson on choosing yarns and threads for handweaving. It covers fiber classes, matching thread to end use and technique, making and labeling samples, checking color fastness, and sleying with 12, 15 and 20 dent reeds. It also explains warp rep and weft rep, weaving with native materials such as corn shucks and grasses, and how to open and tie a skein, with four line drawings.
