Ralph Griswold explains how Farey fraction sequences can be used to generate weaving drafts. He splits each sequence into numerator and denominator sequences, then uses them as threading and treadling with direct and twill tie-ups. He also covers fixes for repeated values, palindromes, interleaved sequences, concatenated orders, and point-twill derivations. Drawdown figures illustrate each variation, and tables give sequence lengths and point-draw lengths for orders 4 to 32.
