An installment of the "Designing Made Easier" series from Master Weaver (No. 34, July 1957) on using texture as a design element in handweaving. It distinguishes real from visual texture and shows how to get areas of rough and smooth texture in one fabric using a heavy textured weft with a plain binder in summer and winter, overshot, crackle or Bronson. Drafts and treadling are given for block patterns, with advice on float length and sampling. The scan ends with the start of a section on synthetic yarns that classifies fibers as natural, processed, artificial or mixed.
