A Lily Mills Practical Weaving Suggestions leaflet by Ruth Jelks in which a Lion's Paw shell inspires four warps and many weft variations for drapery and upholstery fabrics. Each warp (one-color pink, pink gradation, complementary colors, neutral browns) gives a warp plan with Lily article numbers, yarn sizes and colors, and a sleying table for a 12-dent reed. Weft designs list yardage, shuttle order and treadling, and include a Brooks Bouquet design with step-by-step instructions. The leaflet ends with a Lily yarns and supplies advertisement.
