A 1931 beginner's handbook by Mary Meigs Atwater, written for owners of Reed Loom Company looms (Weavers' Friend, Ideal, Little Dandy and the four-harness Cambridge). It covers loom parts, warping on a sectional beam, drawing in, sleying, tying in, knots, tie-ups and weaving technique, then gives rag-rug and fine-fabric directions for two harnesses. Four-harness drafts follow with treadling directions: twill, bird-eye, herringbone and goose-eye, overshot patterns (Honeysuckle, Diamond, Dog Tracks, Pine Bloom, Wreath Rose), Monk's belt, baby blankets, Ms and Os, and a mock-leno openwork weave. Diagrams of the loom and knots and hand-drawn drafts are included.
