A two-page article from the Master Weaver series explaining weft-face swivel weaving on four shafts, in which a soft, bulky weft is beaten to cover the warp completely so that pattern blocks appear in solid colour. It explains the use of profiles, short tie-ups and short treadling drafts, compares the block structure to rep weave and four-shaft summer and winter, and relates full swivel to brocade and tapestry-like effects. It ends with a practical upholstery project with warp, sett, weft and treadling details, and four drafts.
