An article from Master Weaver (No. 61, Sept. 1962) on weaving a pile fabric that resembles fur, with the lining woven at the same time as the pile on an 8-shaft loom. It explains the drafting of corduroy pile, tabby lining and stitching shafts, with five draft figures, a 6-shaft Bronson alternative, tie-ups, treadling, sett, yarn choice, cutting the pile and correcting threading errors. The scan ends with a short 'From the Classics' excerpt on harmonious colouring from Clinton G. Gilroy's The Art of Weaving (1844), comparing colour harmony to musical harmony.
