Berta Frey describes the weaver's trick of transposing threading and treadling drafts, so that a draft turned on its side gives the same cloth. She uses it to sample colored warps on a weft-yarn sample loom and to weave warp-faced bands and belts on huck threading in place of slow weft-faced bound weaving. Samples give yarns, colors, sett and the 112-end belt warp, with drafts and photographs of the samples. A short author biography closes the piece.
