An article by Josephine Marie Ryan giving instructions for three quickly woven linen table mats suited to a two-harness loom or a rigid heddle. Mat 1 uses a warp-stripe threading with Bernat linen floss and linen special, Mat 2 is a plain tabby mat in spring colors on fine white linen warp, and Mat 3 is a leno open-work mat using the same warp as Mat 1. The text gives warp counts, reed size, colors, weft sequences, finishing, and a pick-up-stick method (with a heddle-loop alternative) for making leno twists. Three photographs show the finished mats.
