Eliza Calvert Hall's 1912 book on American hand-woven coverlets, illustrated with many photographs and color plates of individual coverlets and their owners, weavers and places of origin. Chapters cover the Kentucky mountain weavers, the folklore and naming of coverlet patterns (Pine Bloom, Lover's Knot, Chariot Wheels, Missouri Trouble and others), dyes and colors with traditional recipes, professional travelling weavers, double-woven coverlets, patriotic and historical designs, and collecting. It is a descriptive and anecdotal study rather than a weaving manual and contains no drafts.

An illustrated introductory textbook on textiles for students and consumers, published in the Home Economics Series in 1942. It traces the history of textiles, describes natural and man-made fibers (cotton, flax, wool, silk, rayon, nylon, glass, milk-based lanital), and explains how fibers become yarn and cloth through spinning, weaving, knitting, lace and felt making. Later chapters cover printing, dyeing, embroidery, finishing, common clothing fabrics, simple home tests for fabric content and color-fastness, garment care, and the factors that determine cost. It includes a glossary and many photographs and line drawings, but no weaving drafts.
