An article from the Master Weaver series on tissue weaves, explaining Broché, a technique for imitating brocade on multi-shaft looms by laying several colours of weft in a single shed. It covers colour mixing from adjacent pure colours, the wasted floats on the back, tabby and twill grounds (1:2, 1:3, 3:1), and tie-ups and treadlings for 8-shaft drafts with profile drafts. It also discusses locked wefts as in Full Swivel to increase the number of blocks, and ends with a practical upholstery project with warp, sett and colour details.
