"Starry" Draft

“Starry” Draft

February 26th 2010 in Drafts, Projects

Draft designed on handweaving.net

Handweaving.net has a very nifty tool for designing drafts based on Divisional Drafting. The draft to the right is one I created using that tool. It is a 4 shaft, 4 treadle design based on

Tieup: Color Complementation Project, Draft #41017,
Threading: Weber Kunst und Bild Buch, Marx Ziegler, (1677) # 22,
Treadling: Weber Kunst und Bild Buch, Marx Ziegler, (1677) # 22

It is pattern #62825 on the site. The only potential gotcha is that the longest weft float is 9 wide.

The WIF can be downloaded here.
