An article from Master Weaver (No. 33, May 1957) on weaving flat tapestry-type rugs by the 'bound weaving' method, in which a contrasting-colour shot on the opposite shed replaces tabby. It covers adapting Overshot, Crackle and Summer-and-Winter on four shafts, with tie-ups, treadling sequences for two to four colours, and ways to avoid block distortion. It also gives practical advice on wool and warp sizes, setts, weft angle, beating and finishing, and ends with a worked project for a 60 x 40 inch Summer-and-Winter rug in wool on linen. A short fragment on colour proportions in picks appears at the top of page 1.
