An article from The Weaver (October 1936) by Robert Frederic Heartz on "Mattor," a Scandinavian-style weave built on plain-weave sheds using alternate shots of fine and heavy weft, with pattern created by dropping a fine shot. It begins with a survey of basic weaves, then explains the technique with a warp-colored check example (Drafts 1, 1A, 1B) and treadling instructions. It presents a series of drafts (Nos. 2-17) taken from Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish sources for 4, 6, 8 and 10 harnesses, with notes on uses such as runners, rugs, upholstery, pillows and dress fabric.
