An article from The Weaver (1940) on planning a warp before weaving. It gives a short history of English units of measure and explains how to calculate yards per pound for cotton, wool and linen yarns, and how to work out warp quantity, weft quantity and material cost per yard. It then shows how to build a threading plan for a Honeysuckle pattern, balancing pattern repeats and selvage threads symmetrically, with illustrations of selvage direction.
