Composing and Combining Weaves

A single-page installment from Baldwin's Textile Designer (continued from page 106) on building complex weaves by combining simpler ones. It explains how to take picks (bars of chain) alternately from weaves No. 3 and 5, and No. 3 and 6, to produce 16-harness weaves No. 7 and No. 8 with 32 bars of chain. It then combines the harnesses of Nos. 7 and 8 to make the 32-harness weave No. 9, and closes with a recapitulation of how all the weaves derive from one another. Three drawdown grids illustrate Nos. 7, 8 and 9, which the author recommends for fine worsteds.
