Weaving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Weaving is an ancient textile art and craft that involves placing two sets of threads or yarn made of fiber called the warp and weft of the loom and turning them into cloth. In general, weaving involves the interlacing of two sets of threads at right angles to each other: the warp and the weft. The raising/lowering sequence of warp threads gives rise to many possible weave structures from the simplest plain weave (also called tabby), through twills and satins to complex computer-generated interlacings. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Weaving   (1252 words)

Continuous Warping on a TWinkle Loom She also uses two dowels as leash sticks (or lease sticks) pushed to the back of the warp on top, as far away from the weaving area as possible (that is, toward the upper right of the photos). As take-up during weaving shortens the warp, you will have to adjust the tension control, moving it inward if it's a control like this. Notice that the warp yarns for the second tablet are all in front of the warp yarns for the first tablet, on each peg. www.halimal.com /WWW/TWinkle/TWinkle.php3   (4782 words)

Weaving Instead of weaving the heddle bar through the warp threads as had been done on the vertical loom, now the weaver had only to pump his treadles and every other warp thread rose up above the work. I chose contrasting colours in off-white and blue for the warp and weft, because I wanted to be able to see the weave very clearly. On the next pump of the treadles, the other set of warp threads rose. www.lostsolace.com /hartstone/weaving.html   (2524 words)

Anne Blinks Textile Study Collection - Tablet Weaving One of the oldest extant tablet weavings was found as starting borders for warp weighted loom woven cloth from an archeological dig in Germany dated 600 B.C. Anne probably first saw examples of ancient tablet weaving in Swedish museums when in Stockholm in 1949. Tablet weaving is a very ancient European and Asian technique used to create warp faced twined narrow bands. Anne learned how to weave on the warp weighted loom, warping it properly with a tablet woven starting band, inserting the weft with long loops such that it becomes warp for the blanket or clothing to be woven on the upright loom. www.santacruzhandweavers.org /anneblinks/TW.html   (598 words)

The Dairy Barn Bringing the thread and beads under the warp threads, they will support them with a finger and line up each bead between two warp threads. Pulling the needle up over the top, they will then guide it back through the beads in the opposite direction, making sure that this time the weft thread goes over the warp threads (it went under the warp while steadying the beads with the finger). It is best to use an odd number of beads for design purposes and always add one extra warp thread. www.dairybarn.org /_education/lessonplans/B-02.html   (551 words)

Northwest Looms Each loom has a 12 inch long weaving area between the springs which maintain the warp with the proper separation to accommodate the size of the beads for the desired project. The Pioneer Loom features a unique open top heddle, open reed operating mechanism which facilitates on the loom warping to a recommended maximum of 24 EPI & the flexibility to change warp threading while weaving without having to cut the warp. Weaving tension is controlled by the sliding roller beam which is held in position by two large wooden wing nuts. www.ridgecrest.ca.us /~klissus/looms.html   (621 words)

Jacquard weaving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia He recognized that although weaving was intricate, it was repetitive, and saw that a mechanism could be developed for the production of sophisticated patterns just as it had been done for the production of simple patterns. The larger machines allowing single end warp control are very expensive, and can only be justified where great versatility is required, or very specialized design requirements need to be met. However, electronic jacquards are costly and may not be required in a factory weaving large batch sizes, and smaller designs. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jacquard_weaving   (563 words)

weaving. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 Although weaving sprang up independently in different parts of the world and was early known in Europe, its high development there in the Middle Ages was brought about by Eastern influences operating through Muslim and Byzantine channels of culture. Variations are produced by the use of groups of yarns, as in basket weave and monk’s cloth, or by alternating fine and coarse yarns to make ribbed and corded fabrics, as the warp-ribbed Bedford cord, piqué, and dimity and the weft-ribbed poplin, rep, and grosgrain. The second primary weave, twill, shows a diagonal design made by causing weft threads to interlace two to four warp threads, moving a step to right or left on each pick and capable of variations, such as herringbone and corkscrew designs. www.bartleby.com /65/we/weaving.html   (563 words)

13th Century Brocaded Tablet Woven Band Tablet weaving was used as a starting border in warp-weighted looms as early as the new Stone Age. The design in brocaded weaving is obtained from your supplemental weft, not the warp threads in the tablets. The weaving is then rolled onto the warp drum and advanced to the cloth drum as the weaver weaves the band. willadsenfamily.org /sca/isabel_as/brocade/brocade.htm   (2276 words)

Tablet weaving - Cunnan Tablet-weaving is a warp faced weave, which means that the warp threads are what makes the surface-pattern. Tablet weaving is an easier form of weaving to start, as it does not require a loom to learn, however a loom will help maintain tension and to get up and down from your weaving easily. The end of the threads are held tight and form the warp of the weave. cunnan.sca.org.au /index.php?title=Tablet_Weaving&redirect=no   (438 words)

Tablet Weaving Tablet weaving is a technique for combining warp and weft threads to form a fabric and uses tablets or cards punched with holes to form the shed. This is because tablet weaving is a "warp faced" fabric, that is the design is formed by the warp threads, the ones you threaded through the cards. When you are making up a pattern to use for tablet weaving or when you are looking at one in a book, it will be drawn on graph paper like the design shown in figure 4. www.housebarra.com /EP/ep04/22tablet.html   (1341 words)

Viking Answer Lady Webpage - The Bronze Age String Skirt The "tablets" or "cards" are small squares of rigid material, such as thin pieces of wood, bone or antler, with holes drilled through each corner through which warp threads were passed. The tablets are held in the hand like a pack of cards, parallel to the warp, and turned back or forward by half or quarter turns. One technique for producing this type of woven belt is inkle weaving -- although it should be noted that the inkle loom used today dates to 18th or 19th century England. www.vikinganswerlady.com /EgtvedGirl.shtml   (936 words)

Bead Loom Weaving Lesson -- Illinois State Museum Tie the long end of your thread to the outside warp thread on the loom (which side depends on whether you are left- or right-handed), leaving at least an inch or two hanging at the end (you will tuck it through the first row of beads later). To tie off, leave enough of the warp threads to be able to tie them into a fringe or tuck them into the columns of beads.

Regia Anglorum - Anglo-Saxon and Viking Crafts - Braid-Weaving This brocading was achieved by using a second weft thread, which ran over some of the warp threads, creating a pattern on the surface of the thread. Two devices can be recognised for opening the shed on a narrow warp: the rigid heddle and weaving tablets. Tablet weaving is one of the oldest European textile techniques, traceable at least to the early Iron Age. www.regia.org /braids.htm   (851 words)

Loom [Definition] Weaving is done by intersecting the longitudinal threads, the warp For other uses of Warp, see Warp (disambiguation) Warp are the lengthwise threads attached to a loom before weaving begins. The earliest looms were probably vertical warp-weighted looms, with the warp threads suspended from a branch or piece of wood and weighted or attached to the ground. The weaver would have to lean over in order to work, so pit looms were developed, with the warp strung over a pit, so the weaver could sit with his or her legs underneath and would then be on a level with the loom. www.wikimirror.com /Loom   (738 words)

Untitled Document Tension was even, warp material (20/2 cotton at 45 EPI) a good choice, and weaving was quite easy – selvages developed nicely, set to basket weave by the software.

Her Cloth-Beams and Her Thread-Beams, the ways and lore of early Irish and Celtic textile work The weaving beam or garma in Gaelic, is the top most support of the vertical loom, it is from there that the warp is set. The penitential literature of the time frequently forbids doing "observances" while weaving, making "consultations" of woolen work or the "vanities" and "incantations" of the thread of the warp and weft. In either case warfare or conflict is the central concept and women are involved because the binding and loosing of knots in the weaving hut is interpreted as the magical equivalent of binding and loosing warriors or disease. www.danann.org /library/sochis/spin.html   (793 words)
