Second installment of M. Loescher's article on figured mock (imitation) lenos, covering Sections III to V. It describes figured imitation lenos with interlacing between the figures, lenos with only one floating warp end, and designs with warp or filling floats on the cloth surface that are not true imitation lenos. Sketches and Designs 17 to 33 are shown as drawdowns, each with notes on how the figure forms, warp and filling tension, and the effect in the cloth.
