The Garden Studio Note Book of Elementary Hand Weaving
Monograph · 54 pages · weaving drafts
A 1932 student notebook of elementary hand weaving by Myra L. Davis and Kate Van Cleve, organized as a series of numbered problems. It covers loom terminology, setting up a four-harness treadle loom, warping, threading and beaming, then graded overshot projects in wool and linen, Swedish embroidery weave, French tapestry weave, laid-in figures, and rugs. Mounted woven samples accompany drafts and treadlings, and the notebook ends with notes on materials, color schemes and a weaving and dyeing bibliography.

It covers the jury system, craftsman/master/medalist ranks (including weaving requirements for master craftsman), major exhibitions, the Newbury Street salesroom, and director Humphrey Emery's comments on trends in handweaving and the craftsman's role. Photographs show handwoven linens, scarfs and ties, silver, and showrooms; page 1 carries captions for two drapery fabrics, and the last page has a short note on the Contemporary Hand Weavers of Texas.
