A short first-person article in which Nana Durrell describes weaving wool tweed cloth for her husband's suit. She gives the yarn (Bernat's Imported Tweed, 3.5 pounds), a simple twill at sixteen threads per inch, warp length, finished width, and shrinkage after hand washing. She also reports the time spent (about 42.5 hours) and the tailoring cost.
