Re: [lace] Expanding cloth stitch with weaving techniques
Hi Joseph, I have thought about this, especially incorporating overshot patterns. As others have said, you would have to consider the fact that bobbin lace is worked as two weft rows at a time. I envisioned doing a drawdown to plot the pattern rows to follow (which would be woven with a single bobbin), and since each overshot pattern row is followed by a tabby (plain weave) row, you could weave one bobbin across after each pattern row. (Every alternate row would be woven with the other bobbin of the weaver pair.) Alternatively, you could experiment weaving a regular cloth stitch row (i.e. with both bobbins) after each pattern row. It would look different but it could be interesting! I recently saw some loom weaving where cards (as for tablet/card weaving) were added at the edges...another interesting combination of techniques. I guess we’re only limited by our imaginations! (-; Vicki in Maryland - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Expanding cloth stitch with weaving techniques
Joseph, I have taken this same approach with braids. It is great fun and adds texture to areas which can otherwise be flat. The main issue I have run into is having the repeats fall in line with the same place they want to be for cloth stitch. I would think this would closer with weaving stitches than braids. This is something to look out for when planning stitches you will use. You need to look and see if the pin dots need to be moved further or closer apart.

Just to add to the topic, Half-stitch is a three-way weave!

Re: [lace] Expanding cloth stitch with weaving techniques
An interesting idea. Whereas linen stitch is double weft weaving, tallies are single weft weaving. I have seen some pieces that are made entirely out of Talley like weaving. It is quite tight. I wonder if it would be possible to incorporate fancier weaves if you converted to Talley type weaving for those areas. Or perhaps it wouldnât work at all because tensioning is so critical with tallies. Devon - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

I thought about that since I saw a scarf made by a member of the dutch design group “Kanteon” recently. She had woven the main part in a style resembling bobbin lace and made bobbin lace with the warp ends. It looked lovely, but she said the very open weave she chose to resemble bobbin lace making is too open, the threads shift within the fabric, especially since she chose a fine, very slick thread. On my remark about making the whole scarf with bobbins so you can add twists in alle dimensions, she rightly replied it would take too long and would be rather boring. I stored this in the back of my brain as a sort of challenge to be faced once I thought some more about it. ;-) Anyway: Woven fabric usually is much more dense, especially the more intricate patterns. If you wanted to transfer that look to bobbin lace you would have to change the grid, which, in turn, would affect patterning in the more open lace part. There might be really interesting effects. I’d be pleased to be updated on your experiments, Gabriele - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Expanding cloth stitch with weaving techniques
Worth a try Joseph! Something to know, cloth stitch in bobbin lace indeed resembles plain weave, however in constructing it in bobbin lace we weave two rows at each pass. Plain weave on a loom is one row, one pass, as for any woven pattern I think ...though I'd be pleased to be shown otherwise. It reasonably easy to add bobbin lace to weaving, making use of a long fringe for example.
