Four-page advertising brochure for Terrace Textures, the Terrace Yarn Shop of Portland, Oregon, run by Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Payton. It presents excerpts of customer letters praising their weaving lessons and sectional-beam warping methods, and reprints Margaret Irey's article 'A New Method of Warping' from Handweaver & Craftsman (Summer 1953). The article describes the Paytons' Terraspool method and Speed Warping for sectional beams, using spools, a wire frame attachment, a pocket comb and a yardage counter, and is illustrated with photographs of the procedures.

Basic Project lesson No. 8 from Terrace Textures giving instructions for two four-harness afghans ("Autumn" and "Cloisonne") and two stoles ("Fantasy Plaid" and "Peridot" with four variations). Each project lists yarns, yardage, sett, color arrangements, threading, treadling and finishing notes such as fringes and a flat-fell seam for joining two loom-width sections. Pages include photographs of the finished pieces and drawdown simulations for Peridot Variations A to D.

Basic Project No. 4 from Terrace Textures gives instructions for handwoven cotton aprons in two types: Type I is woven across a wider warp, and Type II uses the warp width as the apron length.

The last page gives general directions for washing, sewing belts, gathering and hemming the finished aprons.

A lesson from the Terrace Textures series (Basic Project No. 2) on weaving baby blankets on a 4-harness loom.

It also includes four texture variations (A-D) with treadlings, and illustrated steps for binding blankets with mitred corners.

Basic Project No. 10 from Terrace Textures gives treadling and materials instructions for seven coating fabrics and twelve suiting fabrics woven on a four-shaft twill threading. Each sample lists warp yarns, sett, weft yarns, color suggestions, treadle sequences and shots per inch, using wool, mohair, tweed, boucle, rayon and spun silk. The pages are grouped by light-color, dark-blend, white, black and two-color warps, with drawdowns and swatch illustrations.

The first is a traditional two-color overshot coverlet in the 'Whig Rose' pattern from Marguerite Davison's pattern book, with materials, sett, threading draft, treadling, and seaming instructions. The second is a large modern coverlet with chenille textured stripes. A final page gives five texture variations with alternate wefts and treadlings.

Each design lists yarns, colors, sett, amounts, threading and treadling, and the sewing instructions cover lining, buckram, shaping, handle and frame attachment.

A four-page lesson from Terrace Textures (Basic Design Project No. 3) on weaving fabric for two wool sheath skirts, "The Windsor" and "Carousel".

Instructions for five handwoven skirt designs by Martha Ebener of Portland, Oregon, published as Basic Project No. 7 of Terrace Textures. Each design (Textured Plaid, Stripe Tone, Texture Blend, Topaz Beauty, Fiesta) gives warp and weft yarns, colors, sett, and weaving sequence, with photographs and fabric detail swatches. The first includes a warp stripe diagram and cutting and sewing layout; the last gives a small four-shaft draft and an alternative border.

Basic Project No. 12 from the Terrace Textures series, giving directions for nine handwoven upholstery and drapery warps (Deauville, Petite, Modern American, Fancy Free, Adventure, Bold Journey, Moon Bow, Sun Ray, Color Ray). Each entry gives a design theme, warp and weft yarns with sources, sett, threading, treadling and shots per inch, with photos of woven samples. Most use four-shaft twill-based threadings (Rose-Path, Bird-Eye) and textured yarns such as boucle, chenille, linen and metallics. The final note explains treadlings are for sinking-shed looms.
