Practical Weaving Suggestions, Vol. 1-69 (1969): Six Variations on a Plain-Weave Warp
Periodical · 4 pages
Project instructions by Mildred Dexter for weaving six table mats on one plain-weave warp on a Lily two-harness table loom. The warp is four colors of Lily size 3 mercerized pearl cotton, with warp and weft details, reed and sleying, and two on-loom end finishes (hemstitching and overcasting) illustrated with diagrams. Each mat uses a different decoration: Danish Medallion (three variations), Brooks Bouquet, supplementary warp in open areas, and wrapped warps. It ends with references to Harriet Tidball's monographs and an Irene Francisco booklet.
