Article from Master Weaver (a continuation of a series on chenille) explaining how to plan and weave pattern rugs with chenille weft made in a first weaving and cut into short pieces. It covers calculating pick lengths and warp groups for block patterns, inserting the pile weft with a notched stick, binder shots, tucking in the core ends, and weaving diagonals by shifting picks. It also mentions the Locked Wefts technique for chenille rugs. A short quotation on the antiquity of weaving from Alexander Peddie's The Linen Manufacturer (1822) closes the piece.
