A short article by Josephine Marie Ryan explaining how to weave gauze (leno) on a simple non-harness table loom, using a rigid heddle or screen for spacing and a shed stick with fingers or a crochet hook to twist warp pairs. It gives directions for a rainbow-striped scarf (A), a wider-spaced scarf (B) and a sampler (C) combining tabby and leno sections with Snowflake and Boucle yarns. It also mentions alternating stripes of tabby and leno. Two pages of photographs show the loom setup and the finished pieces.
