Scope note
Diagrams for setting up shaft looms to construct particular weaves. Traditonally drawn up on point paper or some other kind of paper with preprinted lines, they show at least one weave unit of the cloth to be woven. A complete set of them instructs the weaver how to plot the drawing in of the warp, connect the shafts and treadles, the order in which the treadles are to be used, the interlacement of warp and weft, and the transverse section of the weave.
