Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques
In the classical missed hole technique, the method which gave it its name, one (or two adjacent) holes are unthreaded in a four-holed tablet. Then using a thick weft, and turning the whole pack together, the weft is visible whenever the empty hole is uppermost. This was used for making diagonal stripes, which can be manipulated in either direction. If the weft is the same colour as the warp, as in Moroccan examples, then there is a groove instead of a visible weft. But there are MANY other techniques which do not use all four holes.. see Appendix 1 in TTW. In some, none of the corner holes are used and only two of the mid-side ones... in others only two opposite holes are used. Most of these are related to other structures than simple warp- twining; and I would not put these in the same category as Missed Hole techniques as described above.... though of course there are holes not filled! peter collingwood, http://www.petercollingwood.co.uk Send private reply to peter collingwood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop receiving tabletweaving (not tabletweaving-digest), send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: unsubscribe tabletweaving.
