This free downloadable PDF gives complete 16-shaft and 32-shaft drafts for the advancing twill designs shown in “A Loom Story” by Sheila O’Hara.
If you want to weave intricately patterned fabrics, you soon learn that intricate designs mean more shafts. In this free download, you can see how advancing twills can “advance” from 16 shafts to 32 to a Jacquard loom.
The advancing-twill fabrics in this article are the result of a conversation I had with then Handwoven editor Madelyn van der Hoogt at Convergence 2008. She envisioned an article that would show how one weave structure could be expanded from four shafts to eight, to sixteen, to thirty-two, and finally to a Jacquard loom.
Note: For advancing twill fabrics on four and eight shafts, see Lestra Hazel’s article in Handwoven November/December 2008, pages 56–58.
With this eBook, you will learn everything you could possibly need to know about color and 12 great projects.
