TAPESTRY<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Various techniques are used to create a tightly packed weft
\nsurfaced fabric, rug or wallhanging. Warp is set rather wide in the reed.
\nWarp is threaded in a straight draw (4\/3,3\/2,2\/1,1\/4) and occasionally a tabby
\nbinder is required.<\/p>\n

SLITS:<\/em>
\nWeft threads meet at regular intervals and wrap around the consecutive warp threads
\n(next to each other). A slit is formed. Diagonals can be moved gradually to the
\nleft or right.<\/p>\n

INTERLOCKING OVER COMMON WARP THREADS:<\/em>
\nProduces a feathery or saw tooth interlocking effect. Different color interlock
\naround a common warp thread.<\/p>\n

INTERLOCKING OVER COMMON WEFT THREADS:<\/em>
\nBasically the same as above but the two weft threads interlock around each other
\n(instead of common warp thread) and return when next shed is made.)<\/p>\n

DOVETAILING:<\/em>
\nSeveral wefts of one design run back and forth in alternating sheds. First on
\none side than on the other. The same or different warp threads may be used for
\nthe interlocking.<\/p>\n

HATCHING:<\/em>
\nTwo weft threads run back and forth in alternating sheds. Creates feathery
\nlines in areas of solid color.<\/p>\n

MOLDING AND SHAPING:<\/em>
\nBackground threads forming a triangular shape may be built up and molded with
\nthe fingers to push the threads higher or lower in a design. Threads of contrasting
\ncolor may be used to outline and emphasize these shapes.<\/p>\n

============================================================<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PLAIN OR TABBY WEAVE:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Characterized by the regular interlacing of warp and weft threads
\n(i.e. 1\/1 ratio). Basket Weave<\/strong> is a variation of the tabby structure only
\nalternating over 2 threads\/under 2 threads. The fabric of this plain\/tabby weave
\nstructures is generally quite stiff. During the weaving process care need to
\ntaken to assure a very uniform beating pattern throughout the weaving process.<\/p>\n

<\/em>
\nTWILL STRUCTURE:<\/em><\/p>\n

Characterized by the overlapping and staggering of the warp and weft threads. It
\nproduces a diagonal line in the material which causes the fabric to be generally
\nmore drapable. This type of fabric structure generally requires more weft
\nthread shots per inch than those required in the warp sett or spacing. This means
\nthat if 6 epi (ends per inch) of warp are required than about 8 picks (throws of the
\nweft shuttle or passes) per inch of the weft will be required.<\/p>\n

OVERSHOT WEAVES:<\/em><\/p>\n

Characterized by a floating pattern thread and a tabby binder. It consists of a warp
\nof one thickness (usually finer and of one color) and two thickness of weft = one the
\nsame as the warp (tabby or binder) and the other a thicker yarn for the floating pattern.
\nIs is generally a good idea to include a floating selvage when weaving in an overshot
\npattern (or any other complicated pattern).<\/p>\n
