Experience diversified weaving. These drafts are for a Two Tie block unit weave. While these drafts have been set up for a loom that has 18 Shafts- 16 are used for pattern and 2 for the tie-downs.\u00a0 Variations 5, 6, 7 and 8 can be woven on a loom with as few as four shafts if weaver makes use of the principles of overshot block threading.\u00a0 The drafts are optimized for lift plans versus treadling on a floor loom. This structure can require more treadles that what naturally exist on a floor loom. The lift plans work great for table looms.<\/p>\n
The details of how the drafts were created can be found on https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/historicweaving\/learning_content\/?filter=1882671271757459<\/a> , you will have to request to join the Historic Weaving Group on Facebook, but there is no cost involved and there are detailed instructions on how this drafting process works.<\/p>\n The examples you see here, are reminiscent of point twill, overshot, freeform design (contemporary), and monks belt.<\/p>\n Using the information you learn with these drafts is it possible to weave 6 block patterns on an 8 shaft loom. Additionally, the fabric that you create will have no floats making it suitable for blankets, upholstery, and rugs.<\/p>\n These drafts are not “project designs” but tools you can use to sample and then create your own projects based on what you learned in the sampling process.<\/p>\n The product downloads as a .zip file with two folders, one for the tie-up version of the draft and the second contains the lift-plans.<\/p>\n The samples that you see on this page have been woven with a warp that is 30\/2 cotton for the tie down threads, and a doubled 10\/2 for the pattern threads.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Experience diversified weaving.
