Part Two of Maria Steinhoff's essay in the first issue of The Weaver, discussing creative inspiration in weaving. She argues that yarn texture and color, not copied pattern-book drafts, should drive design, and she applies this to dress fabrics suited to the wearer's figure, coloring and personal versus collective taste, and to designing handwoven cloth that will sell. It closes with captions for five illustrations of her fabrics, giving the Bernat yarns used for warp and filler.
