An article from Master Weaver No. 35 (September 1957) describing a variation of Summer-and-Winter with floats of 5, 7, or 9 instead of the usual short floats. It requires at least 6 shafts for two blocks and 8 for three blocks. It gives drafts, tie-ups and treadling for each float length, discusses treadle counts for more blocks, and suggests uses in modern texture weaving with heavy yarns and in satin-like tissue effects. It ends with a practical project, a 24 by 36 inch wall hanging in linen and heavy wool, with warp, sett, weft and treadling instructions.
