A short 1941 magazine article encouraging handweavers to try damask, which the author describes as rich yet quick to weave because threading is done in units and only one shuttle is used. It describes a tree-bordered linen dinner cloth designed by Margaret Bergman, recommends linen warps and wefts and sett, and suggests place mats. It also explains how to combine damask with Lace weave on eight ends per unit, with gold metallic thread in the weft. No drafts are given, but the author refers readers to the Atwater Shuttle-Craft book for drafts and tie-ups.
