Read it through once, to get a general idea. Then read it again while following the instructions. Card Weaving luck and happy weaving. Card-weaving is one of the oldest and most versatile textile techniques. Its history can be traced back years to ancient Egypt. Traces have also been found throughout Europe, India, and the Middle East. The materials are simple. Cards of heavy cardboard or similar sturdy material with a hole punched in each corner. One warp thread vertical thread is threaded through each hole. When threading is completed, the warp is stretched between two fixed points such as two trees, a hook and chair, a hook and you. The weaver rotates the cards. This forces the warp threads on each card to twist around each other. The weaver then inserts the weft thread horizontal threadwhich pins this twist into place. As this process is repeated, a narrow 4-ply band of great strength is formed. Card-woven bands can be Card Weaving for belts, straps, headbands, or camel harnesses. Learning to understand this one will help you to work Card Weaving others, and soon, invent your own. A pattern tells you how to arrange the threads in the cards, and what the finished Card Weaving will look like. The first thing to do is to color the pattern in. This makes it easier to read. Use a crayon in each of the three colors to fill in the appropriate blocks. You should now see a triangle in the middle of the pattern. To see what one whole pattern repeat will look like, take a small hand mirror and hold it up at the base of the triangle. Look at the pattern and its mirror image. The two Card Weaving form a diamond. This Card Weaving what your card-weaving will look like. Use this color-and-mirror technique before setting up a weaving, to see if you will Card Weaving it. It saves a lot of time and helps you spot mistakes in the pattern. Now look at the pattern again. On the left side, you will Card Weaving letters which correspond Card Weaving the lettered holes on the cards. On the bottom you will see numbers which correspond to the numbers on your cards. Now look at column one. All the blocks in column one are dark blue. Thus, your number one card will have a dark blue Card Weaving in holes A, B, C Card Weaving D. In column two, blocks A and D will have dark blue, blocks B and C have green. So, your number two card will have dark blue in holes A and D and green in holes B and C. Not all of this extra length is wasted; you can use as much as you like of it for a long, luxurious fringe. For this first project, we will be using a one-yard warp, short and easy to handle. Look back at your pattern for a minute. There are 52 dark blue blocks or threads12 green and 12 light blue. Now, measure out and cut all 76 one yards lengths of warp. You can use a warping board if there is one available. Or Card Weaving C-clamps clamped to a table, a couple of nails in a board, two chairs back-to-back -- whatever you can devise. Card Weaving will need to fish the bundle of warp ends through. Then pick up the short ends, trying to match lengths as much as possible, and tie them all together at the tips in a secure overhand knot-as close to the end as possible. Now run a length of string about 10" Card Weaving through the knot, Card Weaving tie the ends of the Card Weaving in Card Weaving overhand knot Card Weaving a square knot left over right, then right over left. Loop the Card Weaving over a doorknob, hook in the wall or tree branch, and let Card Weaving whole thing hang there while you take a break. The next step Card Weaving to use your fingers to gently comb out the long hanging end of the warp. Start at the bottom and work up. Then take your comb and repeat the procedure, from the bottom up. Take your time about it and be gentle. Now take the warp off its hook and remove the string from the short end where the cards are. Tie the string on to the other end and suspend the warp from it. Test the strength of the tie on by pulling firmly on the warp. If it seems not to come loose from the hook, then you should be all set. You are ready to begin weaving. Card Weaving weavers prefer to work the cards down the length of the warp instead of reversing it, Card Weaving the tangles out Card Weaving they go. If you try this, be very careful not to let the cards fall out of order -- you must work with the rubber band off, floating on the warp above the deck. From the remaining string, cut off a 10" piece, pick up your shuttle, and look at this illustration. Notice that the warp threads passing through the holes form two layers of threads between the cards and you. The Card Weaving between these layers is called a shed. This is where the weft goes when you weave. Notice that the cards are turned on their side in this illustration. They must be on their sides in order for weaving to take place. Take the rubber band off the cards lean back a little Card Weaving keep tension on the warp whenever it is off and slide it up Card Weaving the warp towards the hook. The Card Weaving is used as weft at this point because it will spread Card Weaving warp Card Weaving out to their proper width.

  • Heritage Statement
    Heritage Statement Location Chimney at Queen Street Mill Museum, Briercliffe, Burnley. BB10 2HX Queen Street Mill Queen Street Mill is a steam‐powered weaving shed located in the mill village of Harle Syke above the town of Burnley, Lancashire and was built around 1894. Today, with its sister museum at Helmshore, Haslingden it forms part of the Museum of Lancashire Textiles Industry. The Mill is quite unique as it still contains its own working steam engine which powers original looms by intact drive systems. The mill was built and run by a village co‐operative and continued to operate until 1982. Recognised for its historic importance the site was bought by Burnley Borough Council, and when faced with later financial uncertainty taken over by Lancashire County Council in 1997. Set beside its mill lodge on the edge of open countryside the complex typifies the Lancashire Cotton Industry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The site contains a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Queen Street Mill Engine, which is currently being rescheduled under English Heritage’s revision of the National Heritage List, List ID 1005085. The scheduled site consists of the engine and its house and boiler house and the flue and chimney. The buildings are listed, Grade 1. The site is within the Harle Syke Conservation Area.

  • Local Disadvantages and the Weaver's Wage in the British Cotton Industry
    Local Disadvantages and the Weaver's Wage in the British Cotton Industry K.C.Jackson Department of Textile Industries, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT. 1 Introduction A recent paper in " Ars Textrina" [ 1 ] provided an assessment of the Uni­ form List,1 which was the basis for determining the piece-rate earnings of weavers in most sectors of the British cotton industry from 1892, until it was gradually superseded following the Second World War. Although the List introduced rigidities in the labour market, nominally it had the advantage for operatives and employers alike, of discouraging under­ cutting of selling prices on the basis of wage cuts during periods of poor trade. However, this safeguard did not survive the severe pressures of the interwar years, as the legalisation of the List in 1935 testifies [2]. Un­ der more favorable trading conditions, the List also reduced the chances of disputes arising from wage differentials between mills and between districts. While the Uniform List provided a focus for collective wage bar­ gaining at industry level between the Amalgamated Weavers' Associ­ ation (AWA) and the Cotton Spinners and Manufacturers' Association (CSMA), it was not applied universally, since there were sectors of cot­ ton weaving for which its provisions were not appropriate. Thus sepa­ rate arrangements evolved in the production of sheetings, the weaving 1 Although the term Uniform List is used throughout this paper, the discussion below relates also to the Colne List, which from 1892 to 1935 was the industry-wide basis for determining wages in the weaving of coloured fabrics. The original Uni­ form List and the Colne List formed the basis respectively of the Grey and Coloured Sections of the revised Uniform List of 1935.

  • Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’S Cotton Frontier C.1890-1950
    Cotton and the Community: Exploring Changing Concepts of Identity and Community on Lancashire’s Cotton Frontier c.1890-1950 By Jack Southern A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of a PhD, at the University of Central Lancashire April 2016 1 i University of Central Lancashire STUDENT DECLARATION FORM I declare that whilst being registered as a candidate of the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another aware of the University or other academic or professional institution. I declare that no material contained in this thesis has been used for any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work. Signature of Candidate ________________________________________________ Type of Award: Doctor of Philosophy School: Education and Social Sciences ii ABSTRACT This thesis explores the evolution of identity and community within north east Lancashire during a period when the area gained regional and national prominence through its involvement in the cotton industry. It examines how the overarching shared culture of the area could evolve under altering economic conditions, and how expressions of identity fluctuated through the cotton industry’s peak and decline. In effect, it explores how local populations could shape and be shaped by the cotton industry. By focusing on a compact area with diverse settlements, this thesis contributes to the wider understanding of what it was to live in an area dominated by a single industry. The complex legacy that the cotton industry’s decline has had is explored through a range of settlement types, from large town to small village.

  • The Textile Machinery Collection at the American Textile History Museum a Historic Mechanical Engineering Heritage Collection
    THE TEXTILE MACHINERY COLLECTION AT THE AMERICAN TEXTILE HISTORY MUSEUM A HISTORIC MECHANICAL ENGINEERING HERITAGE COLLECTION Textiles are an important part of our everyday lives. They clothe and comfort us, protect our first-responders, Introduction filter the air in our automobiles, and form the core of the fuselage in our newest aircraft. We enjoy their bright colors, wrap up in their warmth, and seldom give a second thought to how they make bicycles stronger and lighter or how they might be used to repair our vital organs. As textiles have changed from the first simple twisted fibers to high-tech smart fabrics, the tools and machinery used to make them have evolved as well. Drop spindles and spinning wheels have given way to long lines of spinning frames. And looms now use puffs of air instead of the human hand to insert the weft thread in a growing length of fabric. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, textile manufacture was the catalyst for the Industrial Revolution in America. It was the leading edge in the transformation from an agricultural to a manufacturing economy and started the move of significant numbers of people from rural areas to urban centers. With industrialization came a change in the way people worked. No longer controlled by natural rhythms, the workday demanded a life governed by the factory bell. On the consumer side, industrialization transformed textiles from one of a person’s most valuable possessions to a product widely available at incredibly low prices. For more than a century, textile mills in Great Britain and the United States dominated textile production and led the industrial revolution in both Europe and North America.

    [email protected] http://ttusher.orgfree.com Textile manufacturing terminology The manufacture of textiles is one of the oldest of human technologies. In order to make textiles, the first requirement is a source of fibre from which a yarn can be made, primarily by spinning. (Both fibre and fiber are used in this article.) The yarn is processed by knitting or weaving, which turns yarn into cloth. The machine used for weaving is the loom. For decoration, the process of colouring yarn or the finished material is dyeing. For more information of the various steps, see textile manufacturing. A__________________________________________________________________ Absorbency A measure of how much water a fabric can absorb. Acetate Acetate is a synthetic fiber. Acrylic Acrylic fiber is a synthetic polymer fiber that contains at least 85% acrylonitrile. Aida cloth Aida cloth is a coarse open-weave fabric traditionally used for cross-stitch. Alnage Alnage is the official supervision of the shape and quality of manufactured woolen cloth. Alpaca Alpaca is a name given to two distinct things. It is primarily a term applied to the wool of the Peruvian alpaca. It is, however, more broadly applied to a style of fabric originally made from alpaca fiber but now frequently made from a similar type of fiber. Angora Angora refers to the hair of either the Angora goat or the Angora rabbit, or the fabric made from Angora rabbit; see Angora wool. (Fabric made from angora goat is mohair.) Angora wool Angora wool is a generic term for either Mohair if the hair is from an Angora goat or Angora fabric if the hair is from an Angora rabbit.
