The Weaving Papers, Samples, and Worksheets Volume 2 for 21 Coverlets Woven by Helen N. Jarvis, 1974 - 1996
Volume 2 of Helen N. Jarvis's compiled weaving papers for 21 coverlets, covering eight reproduction coverlets woven 1974-1996. Five are in Summer and Winter (Flower Pot, Bird's Nest, Pine Tree and Snowball, Pine Tree and Snowballs, Whig Rose) and three in overshot patterned doubleweave (King's Flower, Michael Weaver's #29, Pine Cone). Each section has photographs, fabric samples, planning worksheets with yarn, sett and warp-length calculations, block and thread-by-thread threading drafts, treadling and tie-up drafts, and drawdowns. It also includes instructions for weaving an inscription within overshot or other block weaves, and a letter to her granddaughter describing the King's Flower coverlet project, with materials, sett and time spent.
