Emmy Sommer describes "Alternate Weaving," a two-harness technique she believes is new, in which one shed carries a binder weft and the other carries heavier pattern and background filling, producing small framed squares. She gives loom setup, materials (No. 8 Perle and No. 5 cotton warp and binder, peasant wool filling, 12-dent reed), and step-by-step instructions for a border and the start of a pattern worked from cross-section paper charts. Illustrations show the finished piece and a charted border with color key.
