A short first-person article by Elsie H. Gubser describing how she wove a heavy blue wool living room rug for her daughter's house. She used the "Drifting Shadows" pattern from Mrs. Atwater's Recipe Book, wool warp from Tinkler and Company and Bernat's rug wool for weft. The rug was woven in three strips sewn together, and she reports yardage, take-up, and wear. She also describes a smaller rug in a different color and suggests a Rosengang rug threaded with heavy linen or Perle cotton and woven with rug wool weft and no tabby.
