A hand-weaving correspondence course by Mary Meigs Atwater, organized in three sections of lessons on four-harness weaving, with an emphasis on American Colonial textiles. It covers the loom and its tie-up, warping, sleying and weaving, rag and wool rugs, linsey-woolsey, overshot pattern weaving and draft writing, Summer and Winter weave, and twill and double weaving. The text gives project instructions (hand-bag, portiere, blankets, coverlet borders) with treadling sequences, and the second half is mostly numbered diagram sheets with threadings, tie-ups, treadlings and drawdowns.
