A practical guide for amateur conservators on deciding whether and how to wash an old textile. It covers vacuuming and brushing, a simple dye wash-fastness test, wet versus dry cleaning, the types of detergent (anionic, nonionic, cationic), supporting fragile pieces in nylon net, and the washing bath, rinsing and drying steps. The scan also includes a word-search puzzle on looms and a review of the monograph Sling Braiding of the Andes.

Part II of a two-part introduction to textile conservation for amateur weavers and collectors, covering storage and display. It groups environmental stresses (heat, humidity, dust, light, handling, contact with containers, insects and fungi) and gives practical precautions such as recommended temperature and humidity, avoiding UV light, rolling or padding folds, and moth control. It describes a simple method for mounting small specimens in a frame with two diagrams, and ends with a bibliography and a list of conservation suppliers.
