Third article in the Master Weaver series on spot weaves, covering double spot weaves that use two heddle frames for the ground. It explains Summer-and-Winter drafts and treadlings, including a twill-form transcription, its relation to crackle, and bound weaving with one to four colours. It then describes Paper Spots, a 6-frame double spot weave: how it is drafted, how it can be woven on four frames, how blocks can be turned, and its suitable uses. Threading, tie-up and draw-down diagrams accompany the text (figs. 1-7).
