Monograph · 8 pages
A 1902 promotional pamphlet describing the Allanstand Cottage Industries in the North Carolina mountains, a Presbyterian mission enterprise that revived hand-woven coverlets and other crafts. It covers the gathering of wool, hand spinning, natural dyeing (especially the indigo pot), the double-draft coverlet weaving on four harnesses, and the collection of about 50 named patterns such as Double Bow-knot and Seven Stars. It also mentions linsey, rugs, silk tapestry, shuck hats and baskets, and ends with a price list and ordering information from Frances L. Goodrich.
