A 1962 issue of Lily Mills' Practical Weaving Suggestions in which Virginia M. West gives directions for three reversible chenille rugs (Mosaic, Tiles and Lichen) woven on one Summer and Winter threading on four harnesses. It covers the carpet warp setup, the unit threading and profile draft, the tie-up, and treadling and color sequences for each rug. It also explains a pick-up technique for asymmetric blocks, handling of weft ends, fringe finishing with the Philippine tie, and one more design idea on graph paper.
