A 1900 manual on hand weaving published by Book Barn in Avon, Connecticut, written by Janet Nyquist for weavers working at the loom. Its pictures are line drawings of hands tensioning and threading warp yarns across a loom beam, with figures numbered in sequence. A designer could draw on their clean, hatched linework to picture textile craft processes and tool-based technique.
