An illustrated first-person article by dancer John Bovingdon describing his experiments with handweaving as a form of movement. He explains a warp scaffold of spool-impaling spikes that holds twenty-four spools for designing and drawing off a warp, and how two people can warp rhythmically, chaining the yarn into masses to be passed through the loom comb. He also describes napping weft yarn with a wire brush on Shetland warp and a hanging piece exhibited in San Francisco. Six photographs labeled Compositions 1-6 illustrate the steps.
