An introductory article by Lillian Holm, the first in a series on how to operate a loom and weave. It defines weaving and its three types (cloth, jersey/knit, and tulle/lace), then describes the shed, primitive warp-stretched frames, and the parts of the floor loom: beams, heddles and harnesses, heddle horses, pulleys, lams, pedals, beater, reed, shuttle, bobbin winder, and flying shuttle. Illustrated with numbered figures; no weaving drafts. The article ends with "Continued in the next number."
