A short article by Virginia Cole, a weaving instructor at Perkins Institution, describing how to weave small Christmas trees on a four-shaft twill and basket weave threading and use them on handmade greeting cards. It gives the warp (20/2 cotton, 15-dent reed), treadling for the hems, twill blocks and basket weave stripes, and the reversing twill treadling in nubbly green yarn that makes tree shapes. It also covers cutting and gluing the trees and making the envelope and card from deckle-edged paper. Drafts, a drawdown and layout diagrams are included.
