A short piece from Handweaving News (May 1947) by Nellie Sargent Johnson on the Swedish "Flossa" pile rug knot, which is also used for "half flossa" and rya. It covers design, warp setup, sleying and suitable materials, with diagrams showing how to add background weft rows to even up with the knots. A second article gives details of a half flossa rug woven at the Detroit Handweaver's Guild, with a block chart and notes on the size, warp count, knot count and weft. A final page lists accessories, suppliers and references for flossa rugs and illustrates the Ghiordes (Turkish) knot.
