Description:
This book explains the author's
method for creating freeform images within the framework of a loom-controlled structure without the use of a draw-loom or pick-up stick. It is a technique of handling a boat shuttle as different treadling combinations are used during its path through the shed. It can be used in a variety of structures. Section 1 of the book covers overshot, summer and winter, Ms and Os, huck, Bronson lace, and brocade. The second section includes variations on these structures, using two different wefts. Along the way, the book incorporates tips and suggestions for fixing broken threads, finishing, handling selvedges, and more.
This book is aimed at intermediate and advanced weavers although beginning weavers can follow the instructions to use these techniques.
