Honey Hooser · Weaver, October-November 1941
Article · 2 pages
A short 1941 article by handweaver Honey Hooser on weaving suiting fabric by the yard for custom orders. She covers sampling, choosing wools, yardage and loom widths allowing for shrinkage, and washing, stretching and pressing the finished cloth. She also gives a alum and sugar-of-lead waterproofing recipe and a flaxseed dressing for fuzzy warps. Photographs show hand-woven suits and coats, with captions giving the weave and sett of each (plain weave, double-face twill, herringbone).
