Article from Master Weaver (No. 34, July 1957) explaining how to weave velvet (warp-pile) rugs on a four-frame loom with a tabby ground, a separate pile warp on extra beams, and velvet rods cut with a razor blade. It covers the principle of the weave, pile length and density, homemade extra warp beams and welded steel-tape velvet rods, and a worked first project with yarns, sett, threading draft, treadling and finishing. The scan opens with the end of a note on synthetic fibers (nylon, Vinyon, Saran, Orlon, Terylene, Perlon, polythene, glass) and ends with the start of a series, "Problems in Twills," on multiharness twills.
