Information Service - What Is Lappet Weave?
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short explanatory piece from the Information Service column of Master Weaver defining lappet weave, in which an extra third thread, which may be wound on a separate beam, forms the pattern. It gives instructions for making a simple lappet needle from brass or iron rod with a wire guide eyelet. It also explains how to suspend the needle above the batten and use it between tabby shots to produce floats. A line drawing shows the needle assembly.
