A May 1942 Handweaving News article by Nellie Sargent Johnson on modern variations of the M's and O's threading on four harnesses. It explains the basic threading and gives fourteen tie-up and treadling variations from a sampler by Helen Hill, plus a second sampler by Clara Stone. It gives yarn and color suggestions, weaving directions for eight sampler variations, and a luncheon set (place mat and napkins) in Double M's and O's with shot counts.

A two-page Swatch Page article from Minnesota Weaver on M's and O's, a linen weave of alternating plain-weave and rib blocks with four-thread skips. It gives threading, tie-up and treadling drafts for four samples, a short theory section, materials (10/2 cotton perle, 7/2 wool, 10 dent reed sleyed double), and comments on variations. It closes with a bibliography and a question about the origin of the name.

A short 1957 fashion-report article on weaving sport coat tweed fabrics in the M's and O's technique. It recommends woolen homespun or tweed yarns set at about 24 ends per inch and beaten firmly, and suggests the three-thread rib unit system. It describes treadling the four M's and O's treadles in twill order, with variations using light and dark weft shots to make stripes or checks.

An article from the Shuttle-Craft Bulletin by Harriet Tidball on variations of the classical M's and O's draft, a four-shaft weave that contrasts tabby and weft-rep blocks. It covers enlarging the threading units to lengthen rep floats, adding a balance unit, using three or five threads per rep rib to avoid overlapping blocks, and adding twill or broken twill areas. It also describes a ten-thread unit with added tabby threads. Threading and drawdown diagrams illustrate each variation, and the last page shows a woven sample.

An article on weaving the M's and O's threading, a two-block structure used for colonial linens. It gives the threading for a unit of eight or four threads per block, plus warp and weft details (Bernat perle cotton, 22 ends per inch, 328 warp threads). It includes full treadling sequences for a mat and treadling variations: plain-weave-like, single treadles for a twill effect, and a continuous horizontal stripe. It also shows pillow top and bag designs and summarizes the treadling combinations that can be woven on one threading.

Harriet Tidball's article from the Multiple-Harness Weaver series in the Shuttle-Craft Bulletin explains how to expand the four-harness M's and O's weave to six or more harnesses. She analyzes Finnish drafts by Perheentupa and Pyysalo, then proposes a consistent unit system with foundation harnesses 1 and 2 and pairs of pattern harnesses for each block. It gives a unit draft, a twelve-harness tie-up for five blocks, profile drafts for the Finnish examples, and full directions for a six-harness two-block transparent curtain in 8/2 cotton with chenille tabby separators.

A one-page article from the Multiple-Harness Weaver column presenting a "hollow square" pattern made by combining two blocks in the tie-up. The top draft comes from Ester Perheentupa's Finnish multiple-harness book Kutokaa Kuviollisia Kankaita, with M's and O's on the four center harnesses and a third block added by front and back harnesses. The same pattern is then redrafted in the unit system described in the February Shuttle-Craft, with a compacted version that gives twice as many pattern blocks at the cost of a true tabby. Several drafts on six and eight shafts are shown with border, balance and pattern repeat labels.

Short article by Harriet Tidball on weaving drapery and bedroom fabrics in the M's and O's technique with Lily 8/2 cotton (Art 108) set at 24 ends per inch. It covers the fabric's qualities, shrinkage allowance, yardage for sectional warping from two-ounce tubes, and a colour variation with gold warp and alternating gold and salmon-red wefts. The treadling is given in prose, and a detail photograph shows the rep texture of short repeats. The article ends by promising further variations the next month.

An issue of Practical Weaving Suggestions from Lily Mills in which Mary E. Snyder presents five weaving projects inspired by natural objects such as shells, turquoise and rock.

An article by Harriet Tidball on the classical four-harness M's and O's weave, a balanced two-texture structure in which tabby and weft-rep oppose each other. It covers the character of the fabric, yarn selection (especially soft Lily 8/2 cotton versus hard-twisted linen), and the history of the technique in Swedish, Finnish and early American sources. It explains the A and B threading units, tie-up, profile drafts and the four main pattern arrangements. It also surveys published drafts from Worst, Perheentupa, Cyrus, Ingers and others, and ends by proposing a 1,4 threading to add true tabby stripes.

A short article from Master Weaver explaining the M's-&-O's weave, its tendency toward weft slippage, and the lack of solid tabby in the classical draft. It shows that M's-&-O's can be woven on nearly any threading by alternating opposite treadles, compares overshot, crackle, summer-and-winter, huckaback, Bronson and Swedish lace, and gives two worked examples (huckaback and Bronson) with profiles, warp sett, threading, tie-up and treadling instructions.
