A short article describing an experiment in adapting a commercially woven checked fabric on a four-harness hand loom. The authors argue that hand weavers can create original work by making simple changes in color, yarn type, and spacing rather than copying traditional patterns. They give the warp setup (white and blue stripes, 18 dents) and weft and treadling variations for a series of sample swatches, including plain-weave stripes and twill.
