An article from Master Weaver No. 17 on creating three-dimensional, irregular texture in handwoven fabrics. It reviews trends in handweaving, then covers mixing yarns of different counts (16/2 cotton with candlewick), turned overshot, overshot and All-Over-Spot woven without pattern, huck, waffle, and mixing units or whole weaves in one draft. It ends with irregular chenille cutting for pile. Nine figures give warping plans, threading drafts, draw-downs, a tie-up and a photograph, with suggested treadlings.
