Beta Ivey · Weaver, October 1938
Article · 6 pages · weaving drafts
An article by Beta Ivey on weaving personal initials and monograms into linens using Bronson (lace) weave. She explains how letters are broken into two or four blocks, gives threading and treadling directions for blocks A and B on four harnesses, and describes changing string heddles to rethread for each letter. Practical notes cover a sampler woven on a Structo loom and an IB monogram towel in 40/2 linen sleyed at 30 ends per inch. Also included are proportion planning, place mat layouts, and loom suitability. Figures show letter drafts and diagrams, and there are photographs of the finished sampler and towels.
