One warp yarn is referred to as an “end.” Use a tail about 4 times the Warp (v) When used as a verb, warp or warping refers to the act of width of your warp.

You can have more than one structure in a project. This pattern uses plain weave and leno. Plain Weave The weft yarn travels over one warp thread and under the next.

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.

  • Final Thesis-Bales.Docx
    PROJECT PENELOPE: LEARNING FROM THE LOOM by Lydia Bales A CREATIVE THESIS Presented to the Department of Architecture and Allied Arts and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2017 An Abstract of the Thesis of Lydia Bales for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Architecture and Allied Arts to be taken June 2017 Title: Project Penelope: Learning from the Loom Approved: _______________________________________ Jovencio de la Paz This thesis explores the interdisciplinary nature of textile and the value of learning traditional methods for modern application. The structure combines scholarship and personal practice to describe weaving methodology and examine technological advances in the field of jacquard. The basic vernacular of weaving is analyzed and expanded to explore the ways in which jacquard elevates those ideas to expose new opportunities for creativity and ingenuity. Ideas of self and industry are explored on a personal level through the addition of personal weaving projects which illustrate the processes discussed throughout various stages of design. This thesis synthesizes global thinking to engineer effective approaches to integrating technology with traditional practice to further enhance the connection between weaving and technology. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank Jovencio de la Paz, Dr. Mossberg, and Beth Esponette for their support of my work in Eugene and with this thesis. I would additionally like to thank Barbara Pickett and Eva Basile for their excellence in teaching and deep knowledge of weaving, who taught me everything I know about jacquard. It is with the most sincere of gratitude that I thank these individuals.
