During this operation the loom is preferably run at lower speed compared to the selected normal picking speed.

The California Design (CD) exhibitions, a series held at the Pasadena Art Museum from 1955 to 1971 (and at another venue in 1976) captured the form and spirit of the transition from handwoven, designer textiles to two dimensional fiber art and sculpture.1 Initially, the California Design exhibits brought together manufactured and one-of-a kind hand-crafted objects, akin to the Good Design exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

  • Paper 2: the Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with Extra Images July 2015
    Industrial Lyme - Paper 2: The Woollen Cloth Industry in the Lim Valley © Richard Bull & Lyme Regis Museum Revised with extra images July 2015 Like all research, this is on-going. If you know more, or are descended from any of the families involved, please get in touch with the author via Lyme Regis Museum. Summary Woollen cloth has been made in the Lim Valley from at least medieval times, but this paper is more about the factories in Lyme Regis and Uplyme that made high-quality West of England coat cloths. The factories in Lyme were bankrupt in 1847, leaving the Uplyme factory to soldier on against Yorkshire competition until it was destroyed by fire in 1866, whilst being modernised. In Lyme the factories were started up again in the 1850s to make silk thread and hemp twine, but only for a short period; these are the subjects of other papers in this series. This paper contains: the background to the trade, the history of the factories and a walking trail to see the mills. Cloth making – the essential process in a nutshell Sheep fleeces are packed on the farm into big canvas bags called woolsacks. At the factory the fleeces are scoured (washed) to remove lanolin (wool- grease), dirt and adhering vegetable material. Then the fleeces are scribbled (torn up into pieces), combed and carded to produce rovings, long strips of wool ready for spinning. Washed and combed fleece being fed into a carding machine at Coldharbour Mill, Uffculme, Devon Industrial Lyme Paper 2 – The Woollen Cloth Industry © R Bull & Lyme Regis Museum 1 Spinning means to draw out and twist - and by this process the scales of the individual wool fibres lock together to produce a thread known as a single.

  • Weave Structure and Image Pattern Exploration for Modern Double-Cloth Design Development by Deploying Digital Technology
    Volume 10, Issue 4, 2018 Weave Structure and Image Pattern Exploration for Modern Double-cloth Design Development by Deploying Digital Technology Ken Ri Kim, Lecturer, Loughborough University, United Kingdom ABSTRACT The use of digital technology can open up new opportunities for Jacquard fabric to provide novel forms of decorative fabrics. In additional to color, texture and material, multiple layer format such as double-cloth is considered a crucial design element. In using the traditional weaving method, double-cloth design features are limited to abstract styles (i.e., stripes and color blocks). However, by deploying digital technology it is possible to depict much complicated fashion on both sides of a fabric. Two distinguished images are realized through weft yarn colors of which face, and back layer equally offer unique design novelty that was not possible with existing weaving methods. Therefore, this study firstly explored on a weave structure development which is capable of presenting pictorial images on both sides of a fabric. Once the weave structure format is finalized, further experiment is carried out with the CMYK color threads to explore the possibility of expanding a weave color scope for double-cloth. Based on the two experiments results, the details of weave structure and the image pattern design are explained to propose new types of modern double-cloth. Keywords: Double-cloth, Weave structure design, Pictorial image, Weave color expansion 1. Introduction contrast, in modern digital weaving as each Double cloth possesses at least two sets warp thread is threaded into individual hooks, of warp and weft yarns primarily engaged in higher capability and flexibility results from generating its own layer of fabric to form the loom setting (Ishida, 1994).
