A bilingual (German and English) self-instruction pattern book for weaving on hand and power looms, compiled by Ferdinand A. Langewald of North Oxford, Massachusetts. After prefaces and practical tables (warp and filling lots, spools and sections for dressing, wool buying), it consists almost entirely of numbered drawdown grids for 3 to 24 shafts, organized by shaft count and number of pattern cards (Jacquard-style). A supplement adds more 8-shaft patterns and fuller drafts with threading, tie-up and treadling for re-arranged (cross drawing-in) patterns on 4 to 18 shafts, so that Jacquard designs can be reduced for shaft or treadle looms. An English and German index lists patterns by harness count.
