An article from the Canadian bulletin Master Weaver explaining Full Swivel, a variant of swivel weave in which both tabby sheds carry the pattern weft for bolder contrast. It covers why the technique is limited on four shafts, how diamond-type patterns avoid slits on 8 or more shafts, and how to use a skeleton tie-up with conversion table for looms with 8 or 10 treadles. Two practical projects are given, a four-shaft chess-board and eight-shaft cotton place mats, and the article ends with remarks on the history of the name and the older term "Paper Spots" in Murphy's Art of Weaving.
