Herringbone weaving draft

This is most likely the last finished project for 2023.... or maybe I can squeak out a couple of scarves before months end? Christmas sorta slows things down for a spell! This draft shown below may look familiar and yes I have done it before. It's a fun and easy weave and a great way to use up small part cones and play with colour. They also make great gifts and people snap them up. I gave a friend a choice of all the towels in my Etsy shop and she chose one of these as her gift, even though…

By Melissa Ludden HankensWhile this article is mainly about how to read a draft, I'm also going to share my experience boiling Foxfibre Colorganic cotton to develop the color in the cloth I wove to make my almost one-year-old an easy pair of pull-on pants.When I first learned to weave, I remember thinking that reading drafts was rather intimidating, and how on earth was I ever going to remember what to treadle when or if I ever managed to get my loom threaded and tied up properly.

Gus brought a draft to the meeting today and wanted to know what the weave structure was. There wasn't a draw down with the draft, so it wasn't immediately obvious that it was a braided twill using an advancing treadling sequence. I brought the details for the tie up home and put it in my WeavePoint program and then played around with the draft a bit. Here is the original tie up with a straight threading and straight treadling. The braided effect is obvious in the drawdown when it is…

I've been really loving how draft patterns are looking in my weaves. They are really easy to weave too once you get the pattern down. Today I am sharing the classic Herringbone weave. You've seen this pattern many times before. It makes the shape of diagonals, similar to a twill weave. However, where the twill
