SWEDISH WEAVING

GENERAL INFORMATION: Use 6 strands of Embroidery Floss, 4 strands of "Strandsheen," or 1 strand of Pearl Cotton or "Brilliant."

Most huck towels have vertical loops on one side and horizontal loops on the other; each set of direc­tions states on which side design is to be worked. Cut thread into 30-inch lengths. When beginning weaving, leave 3 inches of thread free. When weaving is com­pleted, weave back through design for 1 inch, or equiv­alent. Finish off 3-inch length in same manner. When starting new thread in center of row, begin weaving 1 inch before end of previous thread. When article has been completed, press well on wrong side.
