A 1792 Baltimore weaver's draft book by John Hargrove, addressed to American weavers and cloth manufacturers. After a preface and brief instructions on reading the drafts, it presents about 52 numbered handwritten-style drafts for figured cottons and linens such as cords, dimities, fustians, velverets, satinets, thicksets, stockinets, birdseyes and diapers, with threading, tie-up and treadling. It closes with receipts for sizing cotton warps and for dyeing cotton, linen and wool in blue, green, madder red and black.
