An article from Master Weaver (No. 39, May 1958) on weaving summer-and-winter (S-&-W) with a plain tabby ground, so that a block of pattern sits against areas of true tabby. It explains why the traditional draft fails, offers a modified 4-shaft draft that resembles Bronson lace, and gives yarn and treadling options. A second draft uses a fine binder on every shot. It includes a place mat project for 4 shafts, extensions to 8 shafts with 3 to 5 pattern blocks and the treadling needed, and a short 'Curiosity Shop' note on weaving two-block S-&-W with a single tabby shed on an 8-frame damask threading.
