Two Routes to Koch's Quadric Island: A Counterchanged Textile Pattern
Two Routes to Koch's Quadric Island: A Counterchanged Textile Pattern
Web Doc · 1 page · weaving drafts
A short 1999 article by Betty Lou Whaley on using the fractal Koch's Quadric Island as the basis for a counterchanged textile pattern. She plots the small kernel as a tie-up and a counterchanged repeat, then makes two ten-shaft drafts: one in Bronson Lace (Mock Leno) and one in Turned Bronson Lace. She then describes arriving at the same pattern from a 2/2 twill tie-up kernel, found in Ernest B. Berry's textile designing text, by expanding it to an 8x8 matrix and rotating it in a series of steps.
Two Tablet-Woven Bands in Three Color Pebble Weave
Two Tablet-Woven Bands in Three Color Pebble Weave
Web Doc · 2 pages
A short 1999 article by Betty Lou Whaley describing two tablet-woven bands in a three-color pebble weave, one single-faced and one double-faced, based on a duck pattern from an ancient Bolivian belt. She explains weaving without twist build-up, using triangular tablets cut from matt board and later hexagonal tablets with ramie yarn. Actual-size photographs show the front and back of both bands.
