Description
20 page black and white booklet explaining Waffle-Weaving from Montgomery Ward plus the 4 piece wooden Waffle-Weaving Frame no. 71-1926. All you need to proceed is a needle and crochet/knitting cotton. Needle and fibers are NOT included in this listing, just the pamphlet and the wooden frame.There's no date on this but it's from days gone by. See photo of cover with mother and daughter working with this technique. Their clothes and hairstyles should give you a good idea of the time frame of this pamphlet.
Instructions include how to assemble the frame (it's adjustable to various sizes), how to wind the starter threads, tie knots, do the diagonal weaving, and remove the work and wash, plus specific instructions on the patterns for each project. Fiber used is crochet and knitting cotton.
Projects create different weaving patterns and include (see photos for examples)
4 different 5 Piece Luncheon Sets that make 4 place mats and one centerpiece
3 different 3 Piece Hot Mat Sets that make a small, medium, and large hot mat
1 Practical 7 Piece Refreshment Set that makes 1 large mat for a pitcher and 6 small mats for glasses
Charming Boudoir Pillow
Novel 3 Piece Chair Set that makes two arm rests and one chair back
A craft from the past that looks like a good activity for young adults (and maybe pre-teens?) or anyone who wants to create these woven mats.
Or just collect it as an interesting historical weaving technique.
