Re: [lace] Re: Finger looping
It doesn't look like fingerloop to me either. Tablet weaving absolutely goes back this far (and further.. go anglo-saxons!), but this speaks more to rigid heddle than 4 hole tablet to me. (2 shafts rather than 4, effectively). Lovely piece! Heather in snowy SW Ontario, with a tablet weaving piece on my loom as we speak.

Re: [lace] Re: Finger looping
That is a better idea to me than a looped technique.

[lace] Re: Finger looping
Jean or Bev Walker might be better than me at identification, but could these braids be formed by tablet weaving? I believe the technique does date back that far, and they certainly look similar to the braids I made as samples at college some years ago? Being a warp/weft technique, it would also explain the loose threads along the sides of some of the braid, possibly where the weft thread has worn away 'on the turn' over the years. Jane Partridge From: owner-l...@arachne.com on behalf of Gilian Dye Could these braids be a form of plaiting? (cf Devon's giant plaits introduced a few years back). We each need another lifetime to experiment with such things! Gil - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
