A 1958 monograph by Robert Fredric Heartz explaining how to weave damask-type figured cloth on a four-harness loom using split (long-eye) heddles and a shed-rod pick-up technique. It opens with a history of damask, the draw loom, the Jacquard and the Paisley shawl, then gives loom preparation, tie-up, pick-up methods, designing on squared paper, yarns and color. Numbered hand-drawn plates show loom modifications, tie-ups, and design motifs, including a Whig Rose adaptation, Summer and Winter, and cat tracks. It ends with notes on Paisley shawl production and an ad for a correspondence course in advanced handweaving.
