A 1948 monograph by Mary Meigs Atwater, reissued by HTH Publishers, giving concise directions for weaving rugs by hand. It covers equipment and materials, plain-weave rag and chenille rugs, Swedish twice-woven and matta techniques, picked-up tufting, knotted pile (Ghiordes, Sehna, flossa, rya), soumak, overshot, no-tabby and Indian saddle-blanket weaves, crackle, summer-and-winter, and the two-warp technique with pick-up patterns. It ends with fringe ties and closing advice. Pages are hand-lettered and illustrated with many diagrams, drafts, and pattern grids.
