An article from the Master Weaver bulletin on weaving with ribbon as warp and weft. It explains how to handle flat ribbon at each stage: sectional warping with a makeshift nail raddle, cord heddles, a No. 5 reed, tying in, heading, and weaving with a flat shuttle. It also covers ways to beat without crushing the ribbon, such as sectional beating with a pin comb or stiffening the ribbon with starch or wax. It ends with brief notes on wider ribbons, plain threading on four shafts, and tabby and 2:2 twill.
