Weaving Terminology - The Two Harness Method
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. 5, August 1952) on the term "two-harness method." It contrasts the traditional meaning, a loom with two sets of heddle frames (one with long-eye heddles and one with plain heddles, about a foot apart), with the newer American usage for weaving on two frames. The author argues the newer usage is misleading and the method suited only to tabby or pick-up work. The page opens with the end of an article on weaving blocks with binder wefts, covering the sett of the warp, binder grist and use of three shuttles.
