Simple Loom Weaving Kit WE GATHER WE GATHER Simple Loom Weaving Kit WEGATHERGOODS.COM @WEGATHER YOU’RE A WEAVER NOW! You are about to take your place in a long, ancient history of one of the earliest textile techniques ever used by humans. Welcome! Weaving has been part of our human experience for at least 30,000 years and is one of the most important and widespread methods of making cloth, baskets, and other functional and fabulous objects. This Simple Loom Weaving Kit employs many of the same tools and techniques that people have been using for thousands of years. It’s up to you to make them yours! At its most basic, weaving is the interlacing of two sets of perpendicular yarns or linear elements. Woven textiles are generally stable and not very stretchy. They can be thick and rugged, light and delicate, and everything in between. There are countless dierent approaches to weaving, it’s rules and traditions, and some of those are shared in this booklet. Follow those that speak to you and make your own rules where necessary. As you learn and practice, you will find what works best for you. Here are a few suggestions to get you started: •Loom maintenance - Your loom and tools are lovingly cut from birch plywood, which sometimes has the propensity for splintering. If you find this happening, use a fine grit sandpaper to smooth those areas. •Even tension - Weaving is built upon tension. Try to keep this as even as possible, but remember that your goal is function, not perfection. •No knots - You almost never use an actual knot in weaving. To change or add weft yarns, simply overlap the new and the old by about an inch in the same shed. •Mind your selvedges - Try to keep your selvedges straight and parallel with the vertical sides of your loom. •Experimentation - Weaving on a frame loom is exible. Feel free to change the orientation of your loom at will, making the bottom of your weaving the top and turning the top to the bottom. This type of weaving is low stakes - take some risks! •Troubleshooting - Always follow the yarn. It will tell you where it wants to go and lead you out of “mistake” situations. •Perspective - You can always start again! Weaving is a process that can oer meditative and creative possibilities. There is no requirement for perfection, and the stakes are so low in this type of weaving that there’s almost no harm in setting your loom down, taking a break, and starting again when you’re ready. LET’S GET GOING! The following pages include images and descriptions of all of the necessary steps you need to get weaving, as well as several dierent techniques that experiment with structure and texture. You may choose to follow these as written or blaze your own trail. There are dozens more techniques to discover if you’d like to continue with your own research. Perhaps you’ll even invent your own techniques! If, at any point, you have a question, email [email protected] and we’ll do our best to guide you.

Your kit comes with a simple small With the warping method used on this loom, you’ll find that frame loom, which has been prepared with 100% natural there are essentially two sets of warp yarns - one on the cotton warp yarns. The shed stick, weaving needle, and front of the loom, and one on the back. A piece of cardstock tapestry needle are used to help you move the weft, or has been placed in order to visually separate these sets so cross-wise, yarns through the vertical warp yarns. that you can weave only the front set of warp yarns. Start by threading the weaving needle. Cut a length of yarn Pull that end about 2/3 of the way down the length of the no longer than your wingspan and thread one end of the other tail. yarn through the eye of the wooden needle. WEGATHERGOODS.COM 3 Start weaving using the plain weave structure, the most Pull the weft yarn all the way through the weaving until basic of weaving patterns. Starting at either selvedge, use there is just a 3-4 inch tail left at the starting point. the tip of the weaving needle to guide the yarn under one warp yarn and then over the next, then under and over, and so forth, until you reach the other selvedge Beat your first pick of weft in place using your fingers. Using your fingers, weave the tail of weft yarn into the warp by guiding it over the first warp yarn and then under the next, following this pattern for about 5-6 warp yarns. The yarn should be traveling opposite of the way the first pick moved through the warp yarn. You’ll clip the remaining tail when you’re finished with your weaving. WEGATHERGOODS.COM 4 Release a bit of yarn from the weaving needle and use it to As you work, mind your selvedges. With each pick, hold the create the next pick of weft. Guide it under the first warp weft yarn at the selvedge to keep it from pulling too tightly. yarn and over the next, following this pattern all the way Create a weaver’s angle with each pick by placing the weft to the other side of the loom. This pick should be traveling yarn at a 30-45 degree angle through the weft prior to opposite of the way the first pick moved through the warp beating. This allows extra space for the weft to successfully yarn. It will overlap the tucked tail. move through the warp and prevents draw-in. You can use your fingers or the tip of the weaving needle to Continue weaving, alternating the over-under pattern with press, or beat, the weft down into the weaving. each pick.

These tube-dwellers are presumed to be primitive metazoans, but resolving 1234567890():,; their phylogenetic identity has remained a point of contention. The root of the problem is a lack of diagnostic features; that is, phylogenetic interpretations have largely centered on the only available source of information—their external tubes. Here, using tomographic analyses of fossils from the Wood Canyon Formation (Nevada, USA), we report evidence of recog- nizable soft tissues within their external tubes. Although alternative interpretations are plausible, these internal cylindrical structures may be most appropriately interpreted as digestive tracts, which would be, to date, the earliest-known occurrence of such features in the fossil record. If this interpretation is correct, their nature as one-way through-guts not only provides evidence for establishing these fossils as definitive bilaterians but also has implications for the long-debated phylogenetic position of the broader cloudinomorphs. 1 Department of Geological Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211, USA. 2 X-ray Microanalysis Core, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211, USA. 3 Biology Department, Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA 19081, USA. 4 Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA.

  • “Direct Pattern on Loom”-An Innovative Method of Garment Construction
    Science ile & xt Ukey et al., J Textile Sci Eng 2013, 3:2 e E T n f g i DOI: 10.4172/2165-8064.1000131 o n l e a e n r r i n u Journal of Textile Science & Engineering g o J ISSN: 2165-8064 Research Article OpeOpen nAccess Access “Direct Pattern on Loom”-An Innovative Method of Garment Construction Pravin Ukey*, P V Kadole and Sarika Borikar Department of Textiles (Fashion Technology) DKTE’s Textile & Engineering Institute, Ichalkaranji, (M.S) India Abstract The impact of the fast fashion phenomenon is seen both in apparel and textile manufactures since the manufacturing time of apparels is considered as the most potential factor in reducing the overall time of the fashion cycle. In addition to the need for reduction in lead time, there is an increase in levels of quality expectations, resulting in higher cost of manufacture. Hence, in the present scenario, for high fashion garments, there is a need for technology which can minimize lead time and fabric losses, in addition to the production of garments as per the requirement of the customers in a short span of time. A DPOL (Direct Pattern on Loom) method for weaving fabric in the shape of garment panels (pieces) finished at the edges that could considerably reduce fabric loss and lead time is developed by using the electronic jacquard weaving machine. The main aim of the project is to study the feasibility of the production of Direct pattern on Loom especially on jacquard and to check the lead time required with conventional and this modern method.

  • What Toyota Has to Say About Wussy-Boys
    What Toyota has to say about wussy-boys How could you doubt the manliness of Japanese men? Yes, I know, poor kid– Kamenashi Kazuya is Secret Garden’s posterchild for all that is confused and confusing in Japan. For the past several months my interest in gender issues in Japanese pop culture have had me following this topic of Soushokukei Danshi Nikushokukei Jyou, translated: Herbivore guys, carnivore girls. “Soushokukei danshi” describes a “trend” of ‘herbivore men’, or a group of young men (typically classified as being metrosexual) who are rejecting the typical guidelines of masculinity, and embracing an alternative style. It’s a type of Otomen syndrome, as it were, for anyone who has read the manga/seen the drama. Otomen follows the story of a young man who, on the outside appears to be a manly-man, but who secretly loves sewing, crochet, stuffed animals, strawberry parfaits and baking beautiful cakes. Soushokukei danshi have been described as being more “family oriented”, and being uninterested in women and dating. Next in line are the carnivorous girls, beautiful, intelligent, ambitious young women displaying all of the characteristics it seems the men should be displaying: charisma, confidence, focus, and guts. These go-getters have been described by the soushokukei danshi as being “scary” (I’m shaking in my boots already…). The typical dynamic spelled out by this phenomenon is a type of gender- role-reversal, where the herbivorous guys seem unable to get up the manly gumption to go after girls, but prefer to wait for the carnivorous beauty (as long as he’s not scared of her, that is) to hunt him down and snatch him up in one fell swoop (sounds okay to me…).

Thank you! Teacher School Grade # of Time spent Comments Name students with box contents Background for the teacher… Background for digestion: Before we investigate the many different problems individuals can have with digestion, here’s how normal digestion works - What Is Digestion? Digestion is the complex process of turning the food you eat into the energy you need to survive. The digestive tract (or gut) is a long twisting tube that starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. It is made up of a series of muscles that coordinate the movement of food and other cells that produce enzymes and hormones to aid in the breakdown of food. For the purpose of this curriculum, we have focused our reference to “guts” primarily on the following 7 organs: small intestine, large intestine, stomach, liver, pancreas, appendix, and gall bladder. If you choose to use lesson extensions or further research with students, the other aspects of the digestive process can be investigated. Stop 1: The Mouth -The mouth is the beginning of the digestive system, and, in fact, digestion starts here before you even take the first bite of a meal. The smell of food triggers the salivary glands in your mouth to secrete saliva, causing your mouth to water. When you actually taste the food, saliva increases. Once you start chewing and breaking the food down into pieces small enough to be digested other mechanisms come into play.

  • The PMA Technique: Finally! a Breakthrough for Visionaries and Go Getters!
    powered by Great Ideas to Improve Your Life 950,000 Subscribers ...and Growing The PMA Technique: Finally! A Breakthrough for Visionaries and Go Getters! By Jacob Korthuis A New Human Awareness Transforming our inner drives and belief systems is the key to revolutionizing our personal reflections regarding health, self-improvement, relationships and behavior. For too long, we were not aware enough of the power and value of our inner environment and especially how to change negative beliefs and behavior into positive proactive energy. Now, through the groundbreaking Progressive Mental Alignment® (PMA) Technique, this tool is available to you. The PMA belief system transformation technique is based on the discovery of a new phenomenon called “Bad Clusters.” These clusters serve as subconscious neurophysiologic jamming stations, placing a negative sabotaging influence on more than 75% of our thoughts, belief systems, decisions, and behaviors. We all experience their effects when we’re suddenly taken out of our flow, or when insignificant things abruptly disturb our good mood and productivity. Everybody has these bad clusters in their subconscious. They work like computer viruses on all your operating systems. They also imprison large amounts of energy that would otherwise be freed for proactive use. We all carry a certain amount of emotional burdens in our backpack. But we don’t want constantly to be reminded of this misery. “You have to leave the past alone,” is a commonly heard expression. The recent discovery of bad clusters clearly shows that you may decide to leave the past alone, but the past won’t leave you alone as long as those bad clusters remain undetected! These particular hidden elements of the past make you sick and sabotage your behavior.
