“ 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. ”

“ As each one of these intersections is sewed or tied, the craftsman should move clockwise to the next intersection of three groups of threads and repeat the operation around the frame. When the first round has been completed, skip over to the second round and repeat at the end of each round: in this way it will be found unnecessary to break the thread at any time. In fact, the only time that it should be necessary to tie a knot in the thread is when the shuttle is empty. ”

“ The whole process is then repeated: that is, twelve more threads are wound between each pair of prongs in each of three directions, as aforesaid, making a total of 24 threads extending between each pair of prongs. If a heavier mat is desired, another layer of twelve threads may be added.
When all this has been done, the thread may be tied to the final prong and then cut off. The frame is now ready to be sewed. This is where the shuttle is put into use. As much thread as can be conveniently held by the shuttle is wound upon it, and a foot or so allowed to hang from it. ”
