Weaving Terminology - Blotch, Scobb, Jisp
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page item from Master Weaver (No. 9, May 1953) that ends a series of weave descriptions with notes on corduroy, a weft-pile fabric, covering wefts, treadle use, cutting the floats, and loom requirements. It then advises on reusing tie-ups for several weaves and on teaching order. A short Weaving Terminology section defines the old weaving-fault names blotch or scobb (weft floats where the shuttle missed warp threads) and jisp or shire (uneven beating), with word origins.
