I propose that both techniques should be called "missed-hole" as tablets
have unthreaded holes.
Guido, I can see why you would want to call both technique with the same name, but other than the fact that the tablets are not threaded in all holes, the techniques, to my thinking, are quite different. With the "Crockett" technique, all the tablets are threaded with the same color of thread; there is no manipulation of the tablets; you can turn thrm continuously in one direction if you'd like; the patterning is made by the WEFT thread showing through the pre-planned holes. In the Scandinavian technique, there are two colors threaded in each tablet; the tablets are manipulated to form the pattern which is made by the WARP threads.
Are there other names for these two techniques that we could use?
