Second article in a Master Weaver series on cross weave (leno/gauze) for four-harness frames. It explains how to weave Pickets (vertical gauze stripes alternating with tabby) and Riddles (gauze blocks surrounded by tabby), with six-treadle tie-ups, treadling orders, and two methods for compensating for the differing pick spacing of gauze and tabby. It ends with a practical project for a rayon scarf, giving the threading draft, warp, sett, reed and treadling.
