Striking up the Weft
Page 1 of 1, a sample page, at reduced quality. Open the document to read it in full.
A one-page excerpt from Master Weaver (No. 5, August 1952). It opens with the end of a discussion of colour-and-weave draw-downs, in which a 3:3 twill with wide colour bands gives arrow-head checks and fine colour distribution gives broken zig-zag lines. The rest is a reprinted 1844 passage by Clinton G. Gilroy, "Striking Up the Weft," in the "From the Classics" section. It covers beating with the lay, mounting the loom so the lay's range suits the cloth, the pendulum-like swing of the batten, the fell, and keeping treadling, throwing the shuttle and beating regular.
