Mary Meigs Atwater - A Book of Patterns for Hand-Weaving: Designs from the John Landes Drawings in the Pennsylvnia Museum

A Book offor Designs from the Drawings in the Pennsylvania Museum Drafts and notes by Mary Meigs Atwater Notes: The draft in each case corresponds with the illustration, that is to say, the first block of the draft corresponds to the upper right hand block of the pattern as illustrated. The drafts for Summer and Winter and Double weaving are written after the short method, each square of the draft representing four warp threads. Treadelings are not given. Anyone familiar with these weaves will have no difficulty in following the patterns from the illustrations. Treadelings are not supplied, either, for such of the overshot drafts as are to be woven strictly as drawn in, but treadelings are given for patterns not woven in this manner and for those in which there might arise any question about the correct treadeling.
