A booklet of four-harness overshot coverlet drafts collected by Florence Mackley from older weavers on Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, and presented by the Little Loomhouse in Kentucky. The drafts, mostly Scottish in origin, cover chariot wheel, diamond-and-square, snowball, sunburst and bowknot patterns. Each draft page gives the donor, a threading, tie-up and treadling diagram or drawdown, warp and sett figures, and suggestions for place mats, skirts, stoles, baby shawls and drapery. Other pages explain the Scottish way of writing drafts, how to balance a draft and how to reverse the treadling, and the booklet ends with photographs of finished pieces and a cross-index.

Illustrated catalogue of the seventh annual Little Loomhouse exhibition of Contemporary American Handwoven Textiles (1945-1946), organized as a 'Country Fair' with themed days (Governor's Day, Amateur's Day, Girl Scout Day, Hospital Day, Ladies' Day, Craftsman's Day). It shows over 100 numbered entries by individual weavers, with photographs, weaving drafts, cartoons, and brief notes on warp, weft, and sett. Items include coverlet patterns (Governor's Garden, Chariot Wheel, Whig Rose), rugs, runners, place mats, bags, scarves, and upholstery, plus laid-in and Hopi brocading, leno and spider lace, and a loom blueprint. Sections on occupational therapy weaving in hospitals and on youth and adult weaving education, a short book list, and an index are also included.

A beginner's weaving manual from Lou Tate's Little Loomhouse in Louisville, Kentucky, built around small homemade table looms designed by Bob McKnight and Dr. S. W. Mather. It covers loom parts, making heddles, estimating and making warps (pegs in a doorway, warping bar, warping mill), winding on, tying to the cloth beam, shuttles, and many numbered photographs of texture samples and techniques such as laid-in work, knot weave, tapestry, doukagang, Spanish stitch and leno. Later sections extend to four-harness floor looms and early American drafts (M's and O's, overshot coverlet patterns such as Bachelors Button, Gentleman's Fancy, Double Bowknot, Chariot Wheel, Snail Trail and Cat Track), with an index.

An instruction manual for new weavers using a small two-harness table loom, written by Lou Tate of the Little Loomhouse Group in Louisville, Kentucky. It is heavily illustrated with photographs and covers loom parts, several warping methods, threading, bobbin winding, and weaving habits. It then moves through successive two-harness techniques: texture weaving, pickup designs, one-harness animal figures, knot weave, leno lace, Isle of Capri laid-in tapestry, laid-in lettering, and structural designs using alternating colors. Many pages carry drafts, cartoons on squared paper, and project suggestions such as place mats, bags, pinafores, and upholstery.
