Isometimes wonder if weavers dont owe Marguerite Porter Davison
more than weeven think we do. When I was looking for a history of
the use of twills by hand-weavers, I found only in her A
Handweavers Pattern Bookthe clear implication that
you can thread one of an amazing number of twillls and then, by
varying the treadling,weave an even more amazing number of
patterns. Since the middle of the last century,weavers have been
putting this awareness to use. This eBook gives you the tools
to
extend the twills in Davisons book along with those in many
other resources into original
designs. Each project in this eBook presents a type of twill
with how-to information fordrafting and designing it in addition to
a beautiful project to weave. A type of twilldevloped very recently
but not considered suitable for four shafts is also included
here
in Barbara Elkinss 4-shaft advancing-twill adaptation. From
simple twill stripes to pick--upmock-satin damask, this book has
what you need to make other weavers exclaim whenthey see your
fabrics: Surely that took more than four shafts!
