An article from The Weaver (1937) on teaching hand weaving to blind and visually impaired adults, drawn from the author's seven years of experience. It describes how students use Braille directions and mark shuttles by touch, and gives case examples with projects: a seersucker rug, a Panama weave cloth rug, linen tray cloths and napkins, and a modernistic crackle-weave rug. Threading and weaving instructions are included, along with a reproduced Shuttle-Craft recipe by M. M. Atwater for a three-strip rug in crackle weave.
