A two-page article from Master Weaver explaining how to weave a coded message into cloth using any four-block draft. Each letter is encoded by a block number and a number of weft picks, with a code table in Fig. 1 and a clue border woven at the start to establish block order. The example message "MERRY XMAS" is worked out with treadling directions and a drawdown, and the article explains how to read the message back from the fabric.
