Francie Alcorn ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 01 Aug 2001 09:55:24 -0400 From: Michael Davis <[email protected]> Subject: Re: TC-1 The advantage of the TC-1 is the ability to quickly change the sett of the warp. With any commercial Jacquard head the harness goes through a comber board which is a fixed width. Changing the width means usually buying a new harness, comber board and having a crew come in to install the whole mess. That's why most mills are extremely reluctant to make anything other than the standard half or full count upholstery fabric. Half count being 4800 ends 54 inches wide, full count is 9600 ends 54 inches wide. In the past due to the limited number of hooks in a single head(1344 or 2688 in a double head) the half count would be limited to a repeat of 13.5 inches wide and the full count would be 6.75. Most of the mills have switched over to electronic jumbo heads which can have up to 14,000 hooks, so a single repeat full count with total control is now possible. Still the huge investment in time and equipment precludes any hopes of playing around with the constructions available to the designer. So in some cases it makes sense to pay 60 t0 70 thousand dollars for a piece of equipment that will allow freedom to experiment with different widths, setts, and patterns without interrupting the production flow in the mill. After everyone is satisfied with the new product a production loom will then be set up with the necessary features to run the fabric. Mike Davis ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 10:40:19 -0400 From: Alice Schlein <[email protected]> Subject: TC-1 Regarding cost of TC-1, I would urge anyone to get current price list from the manufacturer instead of relying on hearsay, for most accurate information. Much depends on the options you choose. Of course, current rate of exchange with Norwegian kr is also a factor. You can find contact information at http://www.tronrud.no/dwn/. - 4 - WeaveTech Archive 0108 Basic smallest loom configuration would be four modules. Each controls 220 ends. Depending on how they are mounted (and this can be varied at will by owner) you can weave 15 epi at 56" width, 30 epi at 28" width, or 60 epi at 14" width. I am using the 30 epi option which suits me very well with the yarn I am using for my current work. More modules = higher density, greater width, or both. I am not afiliated with the company in any way nor do I represent them.

Traditions, Tourists, Trends Tracy P. Hudson That's rather abrupt, no subtitle. But obviously this is about textiles, and the interaction between these factors, which is too complex and multifaceted to encapsulate in an easy phrase. This paper begins with a series of questions and how they came up, and then looks at several different manifestations of this complex interaction in different parts of the world. It will end optimistically, with examples of success and an emphasis on the integrated quality of textile making, culture and identity. It's important to know what we're talking about when we say 'traditions' or 'traditional textiles.' The term can be problematic, but I'm using it to refer to a continuous set of practices embedded within a culture, or the textiles that grow from that ecosystem: the interaction of people, materials and environment.

  • Lucet Braiding
    Lucet Braiding A lucet is a simple 2 pronged device used during the Middle Ages (and earlier and later) for making cords. It is most often associated with the Viking Era but were used through out Europe. It makes a strong either square or flat cord. Lucets were made of horn, bone or wood. The cords, also called chains, were used as drawstrings in clothing and bags or purses. They were also used ornamentally as trim on clothing and other items and to hang items from belts. Larger versions of these cords were probably also used by sailors. Making Your Own Lucet A lucet can be made from any 2 pronged item. My first lucet was a plastic 2 pronged fork. My second lucet was a large wooden fork with the center prongs removed. The lyre shape can be cut out of 1/4 inch wood such as pine or oak and then the edges sanded. Basic Square Cord Crochet thread or thin yarn is good for beginners to start with. 1. Drop a 6 inch tail of the thread through the hole going from front to back. If your lucet doesn't have a hole, it is not a problem, just pull the tail around to the back of the lucet. 2. Holding the lucet in your left hand with the thumb holding the tail in place above the hole, wind the thread as shown: front to back on the right arm, then front to back on the left arm and then front to back on the right arm again, making a "figure 8." The thread should now be on teh back side where you can hold it between two fingers to keep it snug around the arms.

  • TAPESTRY SAMPLER BAG Designed by Jane Patrick
    TAPESTRY SAMPLER BAG DESIGNED BY JANE PATRICK Try out tapestry weaving and make a handy little bag at the same time. You’ll use many techniques in this project: shading studies, rya, soumak, weft-faced color-and-weave, interlocking weft, clasped weft, Damascus edge finish, pick-up patterning on an inkle band. We wove the bag in one piece, starting at the top edge of the back. Shading studies in plainweave and soumak form a gradient with interesting textures. Rya knots mark the fold and create the fringe at the bottom of the bag. On the front, bright colors form bold patterns in plainweave, interloking joins, clasped weft, and soumak. The Damascus edge, worked off loom, was used for the edge finish on both ends of the weaving. For the strap, we worked an inkle band with pick-up. BAG Finished size: 5-1/2" x 5-1/2", excluding fringe. Bottom Equipment needed: Arras Tapestry Loom, Schacht fringe is 1-1/2" long. weighted beater, 9" weaving stick, 2 stick shuttles, tapestry EPI: 6 needle, sewing needle, iron (for fusible interfacing), sewing PPI: to cover the warp. machine (optional). Number of warp ends: 36 Warp yarn for bag: #18 cotton seine twine, about 50 yards. Warping: Warp length as wound on the Arras is 45"; you can Weft yarn for bag and warp/weft yarn for inkle band: weave two bags on this warp. Use a tight tension to make Jamieson Shetland Spindrift (105 m/115 yd per ball), in weaving easier. Ginger #462 (rust), Natural White #104, Pebble #127 (light Weft: We used 3 ends for the plainweave areas and rya gray), Sholmit #103 (medium gray), Oxford #123 (dark knots.

  • EXPLORE TAPESTRY WEAVE-ALONG by Jane Patrick the Last Time I Wove Tapestry Was Back in the 70S When I Frst Started Weaving
    EXPLORE TAPESTRY WEAVE-ALONG by Jane Patrick The last time I wove tapestry was back in the 70s when I frst started weaving. Everyone was weaving wall hangings—much like many of the new weavers are weaving today (but they have better colors and materials). We wanted to develop the Arras loom to help meet the needs of new weavers who were transitioning from wall hangings to more serious tapestry weaving. Of course, as the Arras developed, I yearned to try tapestry again. Though I’ve been weaving for over 40 years, tapestry just wasn’t in my toolbox. This is a bit strange because I have always appreciated the pure colors of weft-faced fabrics. You don’t have warp and weft visually interacting, which affects the color, and, of course, the design. I have had quite a bit of experience with weft-faced weaving though—which I explored in my book The Weavers’ Idea Book. This is also probably why I fnd the warp-faced fabric in an inkle band equally appealing. You only see the warp colors and the weft is obscured except where it turns around at the selvedges. You can see weft-faced tapestry and warp-faced inkle weaving put together in my tapestry sampler bag at www.schachtspindle.com/tapestrysampler/. WELCOME Thanks for joining me on this tapestry exploration! I hope you’ll share your progress and ideas on Instagram, Facebook and Ravelry as we go along. Above all else, I hope you’ll have fun and try to play (though I know this is hard) as much as possible.
