This is basic two-shed weaving. Heddle harnesses one and three are raised alternately with harnesses two and four, creating a simple over-and-under weave. Other patterns are possible with this threading if different treadles are depressed, the most recognizable being a basic twill, treadled 1-4, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4. We'll save pattern weaving for the next warp!
365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!
