Al'bom tkachestva uzorvb [Album of Weaving Patterns]
Book · 57 pages · Russian · weaving drafts
A Russian-language pattern album for hand weavers, issued in a second, expanded edition in St. Petersburg in 1912 by the Department of Rural Economy and Agricultural Statistics. An introductory section explains how to read the drafts (threading into heddles, tie-up to treadles, treadling order) and gives notes on individual patterns. These notes cover uses such as aprons, canvas for embroidery, coverlets, dress goods, towels, rugs, a seamless bag and double-width cloth. They also cover satin and damask-type towel borders, table linens on 8, 10 and 12 shafts, double tablecloths in two colors, and fabrics with cross-wise or lengthwise stripes. The bulk of the book is 112 numbered patterns, each with a threading, tie-up and treadling draft and a drawdown or fabric picture. The patterns progress from simple 4-shaft weaves to complex multi-shaft ones.
