Article · 6 pages · weaving drafts
A 1932 Handicrafter article in which Ruby V. Harstine revisits Mary N. Atwater's crackle weave (Jaemtlandsvaev) drafts and reports on cotton runners, towels, rugs and coverlets woven from them. It gives detailed materials, sett, treadling and finishing instructions for Cotton Runners Nos. 1-3 (Diamond and Right and Left crackle patterns, with a pick-up border on No. 3) and for Towels 4-5 and Runner 6 on a Swedish draft from Sigrid Palmgren's Vavbok II. It includes drawdowns of the two crackle patterns and the Swedish pattern, plus photographs of the finished runners.
My Four Handwoven Coats
My Four Handwoven Coats
Ruby V. Harstine · Weaver, April 1939
Article · 3 pages
Ruby V. Harstine describes four coats she wove and tailored between 1928 and 1938, giving for each the reed, pattern, warp and weft yarns (mostly Bernat's), color notes, lining, interlining, tailoring details and how the coat wore. A short section gives the threading and treadling drafts used for the coats: rosepath, plain weave, a Flashman original draft, and broken diamond twill. Photographs of the coats are included, and a notice for a July 1939 weaving course at Kate Van Cleve's Brookline studio appears at the end of the draft section.
