Covered in this book are doing tie-ups, counter-balance looms, jack looms, sectional warping, using a warping reel & beaming on with reed or raddle. There is an introduction to reading weaving drafts. Also an article on friction brakes and a picture of a floor loom with the parts named. At the end of the book is an appendix for yards per pound of threads most commonly used in weaving; cotton-rayon, wool, & flax, hemp, jute & ramie. A very good book for a beginning weaver to read through.
