A 1949 Farmers' Museum booklet by Virginia D. Parslow, the museum's crafts expert, on household textile production in early New York State. It covers coverlet patterns and weaves (overshot, double weave, summer and winter, Jacquard), linen weaves such as Goose-Eye, Huck, M's and O's and the Bronson diaper weave, and teasel cultivation for finishing wool. Later sections describe dyeing with indigo, madder and local plant dyes and mordants, with recipes from the Dyers' Companion. They also trace flax, wool and cotton from field to spun yarn, including spinning wheels, reels and skein measures. It has a few photographs and no weaving drafts.
