A two-page Swatch Page column by Lotus Stack on weaving warp-pile velvet on a four-harness loom. It explains the two-warp setup, including improvising a second warp beam and brake, and gives the sampling details: 20/2 cotton ground, 6/2 rayon floss pile, a 15-dent reed, the threading, wire insertion and treadling sequence, and cutting the pile. It also describes 'W' and 'U' velvet constructions, with notes on grooved wires and on historical velvets Stack examined.
