An introductory article by Lillian Holm, the first in a series on how to operate a loom and weave.

Article · 5 pages · weaving drafts
Part Two of Lillian Holm's instructional series on handweaving, with figures 20 to 29. It covers warping and dressing the loom: stretchers, bobbins, the warp reel, counting warp in langs, threading the reed and heddles, attaching the warp to the ropestick, and changing lease sticks. It then describes countermarch tie-ups with top, short and long lams, and the pattern-harness (harneskrustning) loom used for opphämta and damask. It closes with an introduction to reading drafts: binding construction, threading (inredning), tabby/tie-up and treadling, and the raport (repeat). The article ends 'to be continued'.
