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. You will pull it out later, so it will not be part of the finished project. Be patient while your hand Card Weaving a feel for the best way to hold and turn the cards.
