Weaving Terminology - Counter Marche, Sinking and Rising Sheds
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A short piece from Master Weaver (No. 14, 1954) on loom terminology. It questions the use of the word 'counter-marche' for long lamms in double-tie-up looms and the name 'Swedish' for such looms. It also argues that 'sinking shed' and 'rising shed' are misapplied: jack and table looms are rising-shed, while counterbalanced looms open the shed in both directions. The page opens with the end of a preceding article on cutting blocks in dornick twill, discussing biased versus broken twill treadling and tie-ups.
