Article by Berta Frey on Greek Lace, a twisted-warp (leno) technique found in Greek handwoven towels and bedspreads from the collection of Florence E. House. It describes the Greek weavers' freedom of design, then gives simplified directions for weaving it on a tabby shed, covering twisting with a pick-up stick, heavy pattern shots, odd numbers of fine tabby shots, and designs charted on cross-section paper. Illustrations show specimens (birds, ducks, grapes, a large bedspread-like cloth) with a draft and design figures. The scan ends with a Questions and Answers column by Mary M. Atwater on rusted and bent heddles and reeds.
