Mary Atwater discusses planning handwoven draperies for a room, covering room size, style, use, pattern versus stripes versus texture weaves, color and material choice. She then presents an original crackle-weave draft, "Rain on the River," for a modern informal room, with a six-treadle tie-up and drawdown. She describes three treadlings, each illustrated by a woven sample: a twill-order block treadling with colored tabby, a summer-and-winter style treadling with coarse brown weft, and an Italian-manner treadling without tabby. She also gives threading variations, color-shading suggestions, warp setting and suitable materials.
