A 1953 handweaving manual by Dorothy and Curtis Payton describing their "Speed Warping" method, a creel-based way of warping a loom for projects of any width or length. It covers loom parts, equipment (warp frame, converted tube spools, sewing-machine winder, balance scale), calculating warp amounts, winding spools, setting up the creel, and tensioning warp onto a one-inch sectional beam. Later chapters explain cartoons and planning mixed warps, alternating-thread work charts, random arrangements, stripes and plaids, with worked examples. It is illustrated with line drawings, photographs and charts, and has no weaving drafts.
