Throwback Thursday Swatch Watch May 1988 Four Sha Throwback Thursday Swatch Watch May 1988 Four Shaft Lace Weave This very simple four shaft lace weave was designed for a soft drapable curtain material. As woven by Judy Dominic in grey and white perle cotton, it would be effective as a draw curtain to control the light at a window exposed to strong sun light. Like all lace weaves, the appearance is greatly effected by being viewed against the light source. An alternative interpretation of the same weave could be woven in bleached and unbleached linen for a crisp Swedish-style curtain. The laciness of this weave is emphasized by alternately crowding and skipping dents, and could be increased by a somewhat more open sett. Warp - 20/2 perle cotton, white and “greige” Weft - Same Reed - 15 dent, 3 threads to a dent 3 times, skip 1 dent, 3 threads to a dent, skip 1 dent, repeat. #throwbackthursday #swatchwatch

Throwback Thursday to November 1998 Swatch Watch Throwback Thursday to November 1998 Swatch Watch 8 Harness Shadow Weave Woven by Bea Nowicki This handsome pattern is is one from “1,000 Plus Patterns in 4, 6, and 8 Harness” published by Robin & Russ Handweavers. It was woven with 2/12 worsted, which Bea believes would give a good strong fabric for upholstry, since it is a very firm weave. It is important that you use the proper dark or light thread at the right time in both warping and weaving. If you change one thread and get it in the wrong place, the pattern will look entirely different. Mimi Smith, Chairman. #throwbackthursday #swatchwatch
