A two-page instructional article by Grethe Poul Poulsen on three related tapestry techniques: aklae, rollakan and khelim. It explains how to place and interlock dollies (butterfly bobbins) of coloured weft over a chosen number of warp threads following a squared pattern. It describes how the three techniques differ in interlocking and in how thread ends are fastened, and how to wind a dolly. The pages include a pattern block for aklae and photographs of the right and wrong sides of rollakan.
