An article showing how one hollow block, three-block design from an old weaver's sketchbook can be threaded in several textures: colonial overshot, crackle weave, a dukagang-type (spot Bronson) texture, and summer and winter. It gives profile drafts, threadings, treadlings and drawdowns with thread counts, sett (No. 10 perle cotton at 18-20 ends per inch) and finished widths for table runners and similar pieces. It also compares how each texture changes the look of the design and suggests weft rep, warp surface and Bronson as further options.
