Tufted Weaving
Elma A. Clark · Weaver, July-August 1941
Article · 2 pages
Elma A. Clark describes tufted (loop) weaving as a technique used mainly for Early American coverlets, with brief reference to Spanish confite loop weave and the Scandinavian method. She gives practical instructions for a two-harness setup on cotton warp, with blue candlewicking looped over a pointed dowel or knitting needle, plus the pick-by-pick sequence and how to count pattern squares from cross-stitch or filet patterns. She also compares cut and uncut loops and suggests uses such as rugs and bags. The scan also includes a book review of Mary Phylinda Dole's autobiography and the continuation of an article on Monk's Belt.
