An article from the Shuttle-Craft Bulletin by Harriet Tidball on jaspé, the resist-dyed (tie-dyed, ikat, chiné) yarn technique, with emphasis on weft jaspé for handweavers. It surveys examples from Turkestan, Mexico, Guatemala, Okinawa and Japan, then gives instructions for winding and tying skeins, four tie arrangements, dyeing, and placing spots in tabby-woven borders. It also covers selvage handling, design and balance advice, a stripe-by-stripe weaving sequence for a Japanese-style fabric, and practical uses.
