A short article from Master Weaver explaining hålkrus (also called Gagnefkrus, spetsväv, lacey weave or colonial honeycomb), a "distorted weft" weave in which tabby and unwoven areas make the pattern weft curve. It covers the structure of the draft, the classical two-shot pattern weft method versus the modern single heavy weft, threading on overshot or plain twill drafts, and limits on use of the fabric. Five draft figures illustrate two-block and four-block versions and twill-threaded variants.
