Learn from the Universal School of Weaving Draft sample cards. It’s not just the beautiful colors and textures of the samples but it’s the so seventies hand lettering and woodcut Universal School of Handicraft seal that makes me love these oak tag sample cards.

Weavers in the Appalachian area worked on their own and often made the tools that they needed from regional materials. During the Craft Revival years, teachers like Clementine Douglas put them in touch with companies and outside resources to encourage weavers to try new methods. These cards published by the Universal School of Handicrafts, Inc in New York City promoted new patterns and weaving information.
