An article from Master Weaver (No. 44, March 1959) describing plain Swivel, a spot-weave variant in which pattern weft is woven locally on a tabby ground. It explains the terminology, the difference between Swivel and Spot Bronson, and classifies the variations (Spot Swivel, All-Over Swivel, Swivel Effect, Turned Swivel). It gives three treadling methods for a four-shaft, three-block draft, with advice on weft twisting, selvedges, slack pattern weft and two-colour pattern. It ends with a practical project for cotton and rayon place mats with warp, weft and treadling details.
