A short article from Master Weaver explaining distorted (deflected) weft, where the pattern comes from weft or warp shifting out of its straight path rather than from a conventional interlacement. It covers colonial honeycomb with alternating tabby and 4:4 basket blocks, sett recommendations (50 to 80 percent closer than for tabby), and Bronson and Overshot based drafts in which heavy pattern weft floats over a fine ground. It includes seven figures with drafts, a variant with long and short floats, and a practical project for a centerpiece in 10/2 cotton with warp and weft details.
