SPEED-O-WEAVE—or Hexagonal Weaving—is fast becoming one of the most popular of hand-crafts. This is due, no doubt, to its extreme simplicity and to the fact that it is both inexpensive and very quickly learned. For making SPEED-O-WEAVE designs many yarns or crochet threads can be used. For luncheon cloths, doilies, pillow tops, etc., the finer threads may be used. For rugs, bedspreads, hot dish mats, etc., the heavier yarns would be more appropriate.
Reduced to its simplest formula, Hexagonal Weaving, as done on Lily’s SPEED-O-WEAVE frame, is simply the winding of threads back and forth on the prongs or fingers of the frame in such a manner, that the threads lie parallel to three sides of the frame. If the threads are wound parallel to three sides of the frame, they will automatically be parallel with the remaining three sides of the frame, because of the manner in which the frame is constructed. After the threads have been wound in three directions on the frame, they are tied together at their intersections, to effect a complete article.
