1 Lily Speed-O-Weave Frame
Lily Crochet Cottons or
Lily Handweaving Yarns
This luncheon set, illustrated on back page, is made of one color which
is the simplest type of work that can be done on the frame, yet the
results are most pleasing. The set consists of a center piece, and four
or six smaller pieces. The center piece is made with the frame adjusted
to the shape shown in Fig. 2. The smaller pieces are made with the frame
in the form shown in Figures 1 and 3. Figure 1 shows a frame partially
wound with the thread lying in one direction. Figure 2 shows a frame
partially wound with the threads extending in two directions. Figure 3
shows a frame completely wound with the threads extending in three
different directions, and ready to be tied. Figure 4 shows complete
piece.
Throughout these instructions, the corner prongs are always designated
as No. 1 prongs.
To commence the winding, the thread is first tied to No. 3 prong on side
C, Figure 1. It is then extended to prong 3 on side A, Figure 1. The
thread is wound back and forth on these prongs until there are twelve
threads between the prongs. The thread is then wound in a similar manner
around the next pair of prongs immediately above, and so on, until the
third last set of prongs is reached. These threads will all lie parallel
to each other, and to two sides of the frame.
The thread is then carried around the outside of the adjacent corner to
the third prong from the corner. The thread is then wound around that
prong to the corresponding prong on the opposite side. A similar number
of threads are extended between each pair of prongs, so that the threads
lie parallel to the second pair of sides of the frame.
The winding of the thread in the third position is similar, except that
it is wound parallel with the third pair of sides of the frame. This
results in the frame being wound in three directions with twelve threads
extending between each pair of prongs in each direction.
