A short article from Master Weaver (No. 15, May 1954) explaining waffle weave, which it equates with industrial honeycomb. It classifies waffle weaves as single or double and as single-face or double-face, and discusses nine drafts (Figs. 1-9) for four and five harnesses, including huckaback-based threadings. It also covers the distortion of squares, asymmetrical drafts, and float strength. A preceding paragraph gives a classroom exercise using graph paper and paper strips to help students link the draw-down to the actual weaving.
