Double-Faced Tablet Weaving
Double-Faced Tablet Weaving
Linda Hendrickson · Weaver's, Spring 1997
Article · 4 pages · weaving drafts
An article by Linda Hendrickson introducing double-faced tablet weaving, in which two packs of tablets (background and design) are turned in opposite directions in an FFBB sequence to produce reversible motifs. It explains how to read the design graph, set up a 24-tablet sampler warp in pearl cotton, and weave a square-motif sampler, and gives troubleshooting advice for common errors such as wrong turning direction, tangled threads and unclear sheds. It ends with a project for a double-faced necklace using 48 tablets, with a design graph, finishing instructions for plied neck cords and fringe, and a short bibliography.
Spaced Out Tablet Warps!
Spaced Out Tablet Warps!
Linda Hendrickson · Weaver's, Summer 1999
Article · 4 pages
Linda Hendrickson explains how to put a reed on a tablet-weaving warp so the result is a soft, drapable fabric rather than a firm warp-faced band. The article gives equipment and materials for a 16-section sampler in 5/2 pearl cotton, with instructions for building a portable tablet loom from a board, tensioning blocks and C-clamps. It also covers sleying tablets in a reed, using a shed stick, and turning sequences for each section. The sampler covers basket/plain weave, log cabin, double weave, gauze weave, gauze diamonds and a plain-weave variation. Photos, diagrams and a page of simulated cloth images illustrate the process, and a short bibliography is included.

Weaving with a Twist
Linda Hendrickson · Weaver's, Spring 1996
Article · 4 pages · weaving drafts
An introductory article on tablet (card) weaving, the first in a series, by Linda Hendrickson. It explains the weaving process and three pattern variables (threading direction, position of the A-B line, and turning direction), describes simple tools such as a warping wand, warp spreader and C-clamp loom, and gives step-by-step instructions for the '10-minute warp' to make eight bookmarks or a sampler. A closing chart gives nine basic band patterns (horizontal lines, checkerboards, diagonals, wavy lines, chevrons, diamonds) specified by threading, A-B line positions and turning sequence.
