Переглядів 4535 місяців тому
The drawloom setup for six-end damask structures has almost unlimited potential. With a few changes to the tie-ups, the ambitious weaver can weave a variety of twill and satins - and even a mixture of structures if the spirit moves. In this video, we examine different tie-ups using my two favorite weaving software programs: Fiberworks Silver and the WeavePoint Complex Drafting Module. The opini...

Shaded satins are an exciting and unusual way to add depth and pizzazz to drawloom weaving. In this video, we examine one way to conceptualize eight-end shaded satins before adapting them for a simple - yet totally awesome and rather revolutionary - damask design. If you are curious about drawlooms and want to experience weaving on one, there is no better place than the Drawloom ABC class at Vä...
Redistributing Pattern Leashes on the Shaft Drawloom Using the Carabiner Method
Переглядів 6518 місяців тому
An awesome feature of shaft drawlooms is that pattern leashes can be moved around in infinite ways while the warp is on the loom - no rethreading required! In this video, we consider how Becky Ashenden's revolutionary carabiner method can be employed to make the process efficient and pain-free. To see Becky debut her method, please check out Vävstuga's video about the Julia drawloom at vimeo.va...

Переглядів 1,1 тис.10 місяців тому
If you've ever woven with two weft yarns wound together on the quill of a side-feed shuttle, you may have experienced a common pitfall: the yarns unspooling at different rates, causing mayhem and despair to your weaving. In this short video, I demo a few techniques (including some awesome quill-winding footage!) for weaving double-weft but trouble-free. ~ Produced by Amy Blair
Bergman Weave and Half-Units on the Drawloom
Переглядів 99911 місяців тому
In my previous video, I rashly declared that the drawloom setup for pseudo-damask can be re-jigged for lots of different foundation structures. In this video, I put my money where my mouth is and examine Bergman Weave. In the process, I take a detour into half-units, a powerful design option that allows us to alter the scale and appearance of our pattern blocks in a way that is completely aweso...
Pseudo-Damask on the Drawloom

Pseudo-damask is a rarely-seen structure in the conventional ‘how-to’ literature - but it is a fascinating textile that deserves to be woven on drawlooms everywhere. In the first half of this video, we examine the structure from a highly personal perspective, considering different variations along the way. In the video’s second half, we set it up on the drawloom and demonstrate one way to weave...
