An article from the Master Weaver newsletter explaining turned swivel, in which the swivel draft is turned so that pattern colours lie in the warp and only a plain ground weft is used, allowing a single shuttle. It shows how to combine plain and turned swivel in one piece for both vertical and horizontal lines, and gives drafts and treadling variations for six patterns on four frames. It also covers practical points such as separate warp beams or bobbins for the colour warp ends, loom tie-up, sett, beating and yarn choice, and trimming floats.
