Throwback Thursday Swatch Watch 2014-2015 Weaver’s Guild of Greater Cincinnati Chair-Ruth Archer, Committee-Millie Stratton, Diana Green Weaver: Nancy Core Structure: Plattvav, a type of Monk’s Belt Shafts: 4 Sett: 20 epi Warp and Tabby: 8/2 cotton (red and blue) Pattern: 5/2 navy perle cotton Source: A swatch woven by Ann Haushild for the Convergence 2000 swatch exchange Munkabalte or Monk’s Belt, a common four-shaft technique, became popular in Scandinavia in the 17’h and 18” centuries. It was used for coverlets, curtains, table covers and aprons. It is a simplified two-shuttle. usually two-block overshot weave without halftones. Monk’s belt is associated with an eight-pointed star motif and often used for borders. Less commonly monk’s belt is woven in 4 blocks and covers the whole surface. Ulla Cyrus-Zetterstrom notes that there are many patterns which have the same binding construction as monk’s belt, but which do not have the eight-pointed star. Hajomdrall from the Swedish province Vastergotland has a four-pointed star and many columns of lines. In Malungsflock from the province of Dalarna, there is a square pattern that covers the whole surface, as in the weave that in Swedish is called plattvav, the latter being the proper name for our swatch design. This piece might be described as Swedish weaving through an American filter. Although the source in this case is not a Swedish one, the structure is very much so. In order to use it Nancy had to reduce Haushild’s draft to fit the swatch size required here. She did a good job of retaining the characteristics of the original in doing so. She notes that this heavy fabric is suitable for a runner as Haushild intended or for placemats. She reports lengthwise shrinkage of 6.9% and widthwise shrinkage of 9.4%.
