An article by Florence Davies on the weaving work of Loja Saarinen at the Cranbrook Foundation in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. It describes how she began weaving rugs, wall hangings, drapery and upholstery fabrics for the Saarinen-designed Cranbrook buildings and for commissions such as Hudnut and Yardley shops in New York. It discusses her design philosophy, her color choices, her growth to about thirty-five looms, and a large tapestry for the Kingswood School dining room. Photographs show studio work, rugs, a tapestry and pieces by Cranbrook students. The scan also includes the ends of two other articles, with a Rosengang harness sequence and a basket-weave baby blanket draft, and a list of Scandinavian weaving references.
