An article from Master Weaver No. 10 explaining dropped weaves, a family of spot-type structures in which blocks of warp and weft are left uninterwoven to form floats. It covers dropped tabby on 4, 6 and 8 frames, the historical 'Paper Spots', dropped twills (2:1, 3:1, 2:2) with frame counts and tie-ups, and weaving dropped patterns with a pattern harness. It closes with material and sett advice, followed by a short Information Service note on why weft curves up at the selvedges.
