An International Correspondence Schools instruction paper (Serial 502) introducing the fundamentals of textile designing for woven fabrics. It explains warp and filling, plain weave, design paper, and how to indicate a weave on it, then covers harness (drawing-in) drafts, chain (pegging) drafts, and the effect of the weave on the cloth. Standard draft types (straight, point, irregular point, angled, skip, satin, section) are described with numbered figures, followed by how harness and chain drafts combine to produce the woven effect and practical points for constructing harness drafts. Practice exercises are included.
