Handwoven Curtains
Virginia S. Doan · Handicrafter, November-December 1931
Article · 4 pages · weaving drafts
A 1931 magazine article in which Virginia S. Doan describes weaving dining-room curtains, and a matching coverlet, on a 44-inch four-harness loom. The warp is 20/3 Egyptian cotton threaded to Mary M. Atwater's adaptation of a John Landes coverlet pattern combining Whig Rose and Chariot Wheel, with Rose Path and Honeysuckle as alternatives. It gives the border color sequence and pedal order, a 'key' of all pedal combinations, the plain-weave stripe used for measuring, and notes on shrinkage, fringe knotting, and hanging the curtains on rings. Threading and treadling instructions and drafts are included, with a treadling for the coverlet.
