Helen Louise Allen explains how she learned to read Scandinavian weaving books and shares notes on Swedish, Norwegian and Danish grammar as it applies to draft descriptions, including plurals, passive verbs, attached articles, prepositions, and converting centimeter sett to threads per inch. She gives a sample bilingual description from Sigrid Palmgren. A comparative vocabulary table of weaving terms in English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, French, German and Dutch follows, covering loom parts, fibers, colors, and structures. A small Monk's Belt draft appears on the second page.
