Odd Weaves - Irregular Huckaback Lace
Master Weaver, July 1959
Article · 2 pages · weaving drafts
A two-page article from the Master Weaver series "Odd Weaves" on irregular huckaback lace, meaning huck with no fixed unit size in threading and treadling. It gives four-shaft drafts that mix 6x6, 10x10, 14x14 and 18x18 units, half-units and unsymmetrical huck, with treadling rules that keep a true tabby selvedge. It covers uses for texture weaving, huck lace on overshot drafts written on opposites, and two-block huck patterns on a tabby ground. It ends with a place mat project in 8/2 cotton and rayon, with threading, sett and treadling.

Master Weaver, May 1959
Article · 3 pages · weaving drafts
An installment of the "Odd Weaves" series from Master Weaver No. 45 (May 1959) on unsymmetrical huckaback lace. It explains how a classical 10 x 10 or 14 x 14 huck lace can be reduced to an 8 x 8 or 12 x 12 by removing two heddles from the center of each threading repeat and two picks from the treadling. It also discusses texture weaves and borderline drafts and the 4 x 4 case. The article ends with a practical project for cotton place mats in 12 x 12 huck lace, giving warp, sett, threading and treadling. Drafts are shown in all three pages.

Article · 7 pages · weaving drafts
An article from Master Weaver No. 55 on weaving tabby, huckaback and huck-lace together in a single project. It first covers four-shaft huck and lace, then multishaft huck and lace. It switches from the American to the Scandinavian way of drafting huckaback, and gives practical drafts for large and small blocks. It explains how to develop a short draw-down into a full threading, treadling and tie-up, and how to build tie-ups for small symmetrical patterns. The last page starts a short piece, 'Quizz in Overshot', on symmetrical variations of a four-block overshot pattern.

Huckaback
Article · 1 page
A short encyclopedia entry defining huckaback as a cloth type used for towels, valued for absorbency. It explains the plain-weave foundation with warp floats on the face and weft floats on the back.

Two small structure diagrams are included.
