A Lily Mills weaving bulletin by Osma Gallinger Tod, inspired by a visit to Greece, giving directions for handwoven shifts, a bag and pull-overs. It covers a burnt orange shift with a black and white floss Diamond border, a chartreuse shift and bag with a laid-in Greek Key border, a black and white shaded plain-weave pull-over, a red pull-over with hit-and-miss borders, and a wool pull-over in brown, blue and black. Each project lists warp, weft, sett and a row-by-row weaving plan, mostly on a 20/2 cotton warp with the same short overshot Diamond threading.
