Blended Drafts and Weaves, Something New in Honeysuckle and other Patterns
Donald Greenwood · Weaver, April-May 1941
Article · 2 pages · weaving drafts
Donald W. Greenwood describes a system of "blended drafts" that combines two four-harness threadings into one draft. The first draft decides which group of harnesses each warp thread goes in, and the second decides which harness within that group. The system was first tried at Berea College, where Miss Walker wove a sample blending Honeysuckle and Goose Eye. The article gives draft diagrams, a worked thread-by-thread example, tie-up notes for ten treadles, and an illustration of the sample cloth.
