An instructional article by Elmer Wallace Hickman on Norwegian Lynildbordvevning (Lightning weave), a bobbin-woven tapestry technique that builds zigzag diagonals and is related to Åklae. It covers loom setup, yarns and warp, the sequence of interlocking and pattern sheds, and how to reverse the diagonal, add bobbins and drop bobbins. Three patterns are given (an experimental design, a nine-unit hanging and a more difficult colored design), with step diagrams and photographs taken from the wrong side of the textiles. Hickman also compares the technique to American Indian weaving and cites Scandinavian sources.
