A March 1941 Handweaving News article by Nellie Sargent Johnson explaining the summer and winter weave for readers who had asked about it. It covers the origin of the name, the structure and threading for two-block four-harness drafts (and extension to 6-10 harnesses), and ten ways of weaving it, including one-and-one, two-and-two, single-shed blocks, stripes, weaving on opposites, pick-up, Dukagang-style embroidery weaving, overshot effects and combined blocks.
