I'd also like to point out that in the interests of simplicity one only has
to learn one direction of tablet weaving. If you know one and it's not that
one, it's the other!

> This is the very reason I personally prefer Collingwood's definition where
you look at the path the threads take through the tablets! I spun before I
really got into tablet weaving, so for me it seemed the most natural
approach. If you spin a thread in S, you ply it in Z and vice versa. To me
that translates nicely to TW - if a tablet is S-threaded it produces a
Z-twisted cord (when turning forwards, which is the direction I've come to
see as "the way to start it off").

that there were other ways of describing the threading too. I also said that
the best way to not get confused was simply to learn what it is that makes
tablet weaving work and look the way it does and gain understanding of the
structure of tablet weaving. Once you get everything to go "click" in your
head, it's not that difficult to work around the different terminologies.
Playing around with GTT did it for me and when I finally understood how and
why the weaving ends up looking like it does, the different definitions
ceased to be a major problem for me. But it took some time and work to get
there...
