An Adaptation of the Honeysuckle Pattern
An Adaptation of the Honeysuckle Pattern
Article · 1 page · weaving drafts
A one-page article from The Handicrafter giving an adaptation of the old Honeysuckle overshot pattern. It describes a two-part treadling: a four-change element repeated in four or five graduated shades of green, followed by a three-change flower motif. A photograph of a woven bag shows the result, and a small four-shaft diagram and treadling directions are included.
Loom Controlled Patterns
Loom Controlled Patterns
Article · 6 pages · weaving drafts
An article describing a method for designing "loom controlled" patterns on a four-harness loom, starting from a key draft of pattern blocks and units that is drawn down on paper to preview the effect. The key draft is then converted into threadings such as 3 and 1 (crackle), 4 and 1, 5 and 1, 6 and 1, 7 and 1, overshot, and summer and winter on six harnesses. Block threading orders are given, along with photographs of woven samples and several key and threading drafts. The authors urge weavers to experiment rather than copy traditional drafts.
