Each alternating nettle — or odd numbered one — .3 

 stopped back. 



The even numbered ones are brought forward and 

 three turns of twine are taken round them, the 

 last turn being given a half hitch to hold it in 

 place. 



The even numbered nettles are now lightly stopped 

 back and the odd nettles brought forward and three 

 turns of twine taken around them in the same man- 

 ner as before. This twine is the ■D)arp. (See Fig. 2.) 

 This weaving is continued until the end. To keep 

 the taper it will be necessary to cut out or thin 

 down the yarns from time to time. If cut out, 

 their ends can be held down by the wrapping of 

 the warp.
