An article from The Handicrafter by Mary M. Atwater on warp-face weaving with two-shed (two-harness) looms. It explains how warp-face fabrics differ from weft-dominant ones and why they suit hand weavers who make items for sale. It covers an Italian bag, striped pattern borders in rayon and linen, and a scarf with pick-up figures, giving warping schemes, setts and weaving procedures. The last part describes the Swedish (lap-loom or garter-loom) heddle, how to build and thread it, and methods of weaving fringes.
