A short article from Master Weaver No. 12 (November 1953) describing cannelé, a handweaving technique in which short warp floats pull a heavier pattern weft into diagonal lines and elongated diamonds. It explains the principle with float diagrams and threading, tie-up and treadling drafts for counterbalanced and rising-shed looms. Practical advice covers float length, warp and weft yarns (10/2 cotton at 24 epi, candlewick, chenille, silk cord or ribbon), and beating. The page also carries a short editor's note about a tour of the United States.
