An article describing a method for designing "loom controlled" patterns on a four-harness loom, starting from a key draft of pattern blocks and units that is drawn down on paper to preview the effect. The key draft is then converted into threadings such as 3 and 1 (crackle), 4 and 1, 5 and 1, 6 and 1, 7 and 1, overshot, and summer and winter on six harnesses. Block threading orders are given, along with photographs of woven samples and several key and threading drafts. The authors urge weavers to experiment rather than copy traditional drafts.
