Backing in Warp

A two-page article from Master Weaver explaining how to move backing yarn from the weft to the warp by turning a draft 90 degrees, so threading becomes treadling and vice versa. This lets a backed fabric be woven with one shuttle and only four treadles. It covers practical warping problems (twisting of face and backing ends, sett, tension, threading with a weighted bunch) and the shaft count needed. Five drafts illustrate backed 2:2 basket weave and a Summer-and-Winter-like fabric.
