Periodical · 12 pages
An issue of Lily Mills' trade newsletter Practical Weaving Suggestions. Howard C. Ford's article on planning handwoven fabric lists household and clothing items with suitable weave techniques, advises on choosing yarns for curtains, draperies and table linens, and explains yarn counts for cotton, wool, linen and silk or rayon, with a worked example of calculating warp yardage. The issue also has Osma Gallinger's "Lily's Weaving Chart", a table of Lily yarns with yards per pound, colors, tabby setting per inch and suggested uses as warp or pattern weft, and an advertisement for Lily yarns and the Weaver's Notebook.
