A short instructional article describing the clasped weft technique (also called skyscrapers), a free weaving method in which two wefts enter each shed from opposite sides and interlock, with the meeting point shifted by pulling either weft. It covers the equipment (a bobbin rack and extra quills), how to set up and weave, color changes, vertical lines and ground areas, yarn choice, and methods for using three colors in a shed. A page of six diagrams (a-f) shows sample patterns.
