A 1952 Master Weaver article explaining the swivel effect woven on overshot threadings, where both pattern and ground are woven in tabby with long weft floats left on the back. It compares overshot and swivel drawdowns on the same threading and describes treadling variations (binder in the same shed, staggered swivel, swivel on opposites), color use, and sett and weft grist. A short note on weaving terminology, arguing against the use of 'two-harness method' for weaving on two frames, follows.
