Attractive Luncheon Sets
Gladys R. Kaler · Weaver, July-August 1940
Article · 2 pages
A short 1940 article from Weaver describing how to weave linen luncheon sets (place mats and napkins) with a 40/2 linen warp and weft stripes in blue linen and Bernat's non-tarnishable silver thread. It gives warp sett and widths, the stripe sequence for the place mats and napkin borders, and tips on winding the brittle silver thread with linen. It also suggests matching the colors to china patterns. The first page has a draft or drawdown grid; the second page is an illegible image.
