Mary Meigs Atwater: A Book of Patterns for Hand-Weaving by John Landes, from Drawings in the Pennsylvania Museum.

These drafts were created by us (with some edits and corrections) from a facsimile of the original handwritten manuscript in Mary's book, paying homage to her dedication and creativity from almost 100 years ago.

The Handweaving.net Color Editor is amazing. I've bought and used at least five different weaving software programs and the Color Editor is by far the easiest and most effective for working with color. I use it myself every day, and have strongly recommended it to the over 11,000 students I've taught about color in weaving!

– Tien Chiu

The drafting capabilities of Handweaving.net just keep getting better and better! I love how easy it is to use for demos during my classes and webinars, and how accessible it is to everyone! The new features in the Draft Editor make it possible to do just about everything a typical user needs and features like Amalgamation and Profile Drafting are super for power users, too. I recommend a subscription to Handweaving.net to floor loom weavers before any other book or publication these days!
