To Cast Stitches on a Long Rake.
Take the long rake, shown in [Fig. 1], with nails set ½ inch apart, in rows ¾ inch apart.
Drive a thumb tack or a carpet tack into the side of the rake near each end until the head is just a little above the surface of the wood. This is to hold the yarn after winding.
