A short article from Master Weaver explaining what a lease is in a warp and what lease rods do. It argues that lease rods secure the order of the warp ends and keep the back shed even, which prevents uneven tension, wavy weft lines and lint from friction in the heddles when weaving fine yarns. It ends with five rules for using lease rods and notes on the best rod construction and on heddle types.
