Shortcuts - Double Beating
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short 'Shortcuts' column from Master Weaver on when beating twice is appropriate. It argues that routine double beating wastes time and may indicate a beater too light for the job, or a weaver without a steady rhythm. It then describes legitimate cases: sticky, closely set soft wool warps, and weaves with uneven warp tension such as doup leno, warp pile weaves and pattern harness or draw loom weaving, where a second light beat clears the shed.
