Sample pages
Page 2, at reduced quality. Open the document to read every page in full.
Mary Atwater explains the so-called Bronson weave (spot weave), how it got its name from the 1817 Bronson 'Domestic Manufacturer's Assistant', and its two threading forms, (a) and (b). She describes four uses: fine linens, an openwork lace-weave, a weft-effect upholstery and bag fabric, and a warp-face rep for furniture covering. The article gives treadling sequences, sett and yarn recommendations, and seven illustrations of woven samples, plus a page of diagrams with threadings, tie-ups and drawdowns.
