A short technical article on weaving leno (gauze) as a top layer over a stiff tabby backing in double weave on a four-shaft loom, so the leno fabric does not pull in at the edges. It specifies yarns (8/2 mercerized cotton face, 25/2 linen ground), setts, warping, threading and a six-treadle sequence for ground, leno and stitching. It gives tie-ups for sinking and rising sheds and four alternative threadings with different face-to-back sett ratios. It ends with a note on doup leno on a six-shaft loom.
