A short article from Master Weaver giving guidance on choosing warp sett (ends per inch) for heavy yarns, supplementing an earlier table for medium counts. It explains how to adjust sett for different weave families such as tabby-based, twill, pattern weaves, warp-face, weft-face and double fabrics, and how to read the accompanying graph with a worked example in No. 1½ linen. A line graph on page 2 plots the lower limit of sett against yarn count for cotton and linen in tabby and twill.
