Book · 364 pages · weaving drafts
A comprehensive manual for designing woven cloth for computer-driven jacquard and dobby looms using Adobe Photoshop. It covers the history of figured textile production, getting images into the computer, the Photoshop tools weavers need, and building weave structures as Pattern Presets and Layer Styles, then walks through projects from two-color designs to compound cloth. Later chapters treat double weave, taqueté, samitum, lampas, weft-backed and warp-backed structures, warp tapestry, supplementary brocading and network drafting, with appendices on fabric simulation, loom file preparation, mills and tutors. It includes many drawdowns, Photoshop screenshots, and peg plan tables.
