A beginner's manual for weaving on a 4-harness, 6-treadle foot treadle loom, published by the Cedar Lakes Arts and Crafts Center in West Virginia and revised in March 1960. It gives step-by-step instructions in a two-column Operation/Information format, covering the loom and its equipment, figuring yardage, making a warp on a warping board, beaming with a raddle, a reed or a sectional beam, and tying up counterbalanced and jack looms. Further chapters cover reading drafts, threading heddles, sleying, tying treadles, and weaving a 4-harness twill sample with hemstitching and finishing. Appendices give troubleshooting for broken threads and a guide to warp and weft materials and sett. Illustrated with line drawings and a few photographs.
