An article on designing striped handwoven fabrics, arguing that stripes succeed through a planned balance of regimentation and variety in color, width, treadling and yarn. It gives treadling schedules with yarn colors and pick counts for small items such as skiing belts, costume purses, bags, chair seats, footstool covers and end-table runners, all woven on a Rose Path threading. Named examples include "Peasant Festival," "The Bedouin," "Cleopatra," and several unillustrated tabby-stripe designs.
