Description
Charles White wrote and illustrated Gimp Braiding Projects, a craft booklet printed at Boston in 1940 by Fellowcrafters. Gimp is a flat coated lacing tape, sold in many colors, that campers and scouts braid into useful gear. The booklet promises directions for lanyards, leashes, belts, and bracelets.
White says the true simplicity of braiding had often been hidden by muddled instructions and pictures, so his directions are drawn in color, step by step. He explains the materials first: standard gimp and Titan lacing, flat and narrow, wider flat gimp, and round cord gimp. Splices, starts, and stitches follow. The booklet is a neat fossil of the summer-camp craft table.
