An article from Master Weaver (No. 25, January 1956) on multi-block turned swivel, a technique for weaving colored figures on a tabby ground. It explains how to count the blocks in a design and derive the number of harness frames needed, using six example patterns. It then works out profiles, threading drafts, tie-ups and treadling for three examples on 6 to 8 frames. It closes with a section on adapting turned swivel to three-dimensional weaving with heavy yarns, plus notes on heddles, reed choice and sleying.
