Article by Nellie Sargent Johnson on pick-up (brocade) weaving using a simple heddle loom, a small portable loom similar to those used by Southwest Indians, Mexicans and Guatemalans. It describes the heddle sizes, a runner from the Philippines, and an old Russian runner whose border pattern is charted. It gives step-by-step pick-up directions for a small white silk evening bag, plus a chart of further border patterns and a second, larger blue bag. Photographs, a sketch and charts illustrate the loom, the runners and the finished bags.
