A short Finnish-English glossary of weaving terms compiled by Aina Ringler, intended to help English-speaking weavers read Finnish pattern books. Introductory sections explain reed set and sley (tiheys), conversion of Finnish reed numbers (per 10 cm) to dents per inch, how to read the warping and reeding directions in Ester Perheentupa's book Kutokaa Kuviollisia Kankaita, and a brief summary of Finnish pronunciation and grammar. The main part is an alphabetical word list covering weave structures, equipment, materials, colors and common pattern-book vocabulary.
