Season 6 Episode 8 - Summer and Winter
We have looked at so many powerful structures in the past few years, it is mind-boggling to consider just how much is possible on the 4 shaft loom by just moving threads around and playing with repetitive sequences....after all that is what tabby, float, tabby, float is....a repetitive sequence. So here is another one to add to your design pouch.
I hope you enjoy this jam-packed episode that will provide you with a solid foundation on Summer and Winter.
In this episode we learn:
The unit system of Summer and Winter.
What a two-tie structure means.
How to make your hem exactly like the pattern in reverse.
How to treadle in pairs X style.
How to treadle in pars O style.
How to treadle in singles alternate style (bricks).
How to treadle in Dukagang style (columns).
How to change your ground patterning by changing your tabbies.
Having a neutral warp allows us to bring in any colour we want.
