Nellie Sargent Johnson explains how to weave simple draw-loom (Swedish "Upphamta") patterns on an ordinary four-harness loom with short-eyed heddles, using flat pick-up sticks and dowel-rod shed sticks tied up with twine. She gives complete directions for a table runner (warp, weft colors, herringbone threading, pick-up pattern drafts, and the order of dowel-rod lifts) and for a second green linen runner. Illustrations show a loom setup, threading drafts, pick-up drafts, and runners including an antique Italian piece, a Swedish linen runner, and a Guatemalan cotton and silk runner.
