An instructional article, the first in a series on pile weaves, explaining how to weave weft-pile corduroy on a handloom. It covers the properties and uses of corduroy, how floats are formed and cut into pile, and the yarns for pile, binder and warp. Drafts and tie-ups show pile on one or both sides, long and short pile, and variations on overshot-type threadings. It also gives advice on tie-ups for counterbalanced and rising-shed looms and on cutting the floats with scissors. It ends with a bedspread project.
