The draft is shown below slightly modified [the lilac one] and the two in black and white are some extensions of the idea to 20 shafts.
Having just finished weaving the Lace Shawl I wove a bit of a sample of this lace/overshot draft. Lace seems to work best on slightly less than the plain weave sett and overshot [IMHO] works better on something slightly tighter so it will be interesting to see how this turns out when I get it washed. I suspect that it will be a little bit too sleazy - no matter as the plan for this warp is that it gets progressively close in sett so I will weave a progression of samplers.
Interesting ideas.
ReplyDeleteJust ran across this - any comment on how the fabric turned out after wet finishing? (Speaking of the pinkish Strickler overshot & lace draft).
ReplyDeletethanks!
As I suspected it was a bit tot loose. I was using machine washable wool so I didn't get any perceptible tightening. I wasn't enamored enough with it to want to try again!
DeleteAwesome 👍
