In this lesson, we get a chance to put everything we've learned about laces together in one piece. Blended Lace really isn't a category in any lace book I've read. But...years ago, when I would get lost in Marguerite Porter Davison's - A Handweaver's Pattern Book, studying the threadings...I noticed that a few laces had indeed used all the threading methods we have studied in one piece. They had diagonal lines like twills coming from Bronson Spot and blocks (sometimes 2 blocks) like Bronson Lace and Swedish Lace in different places. A light bulb went off and it was the first time I really thought about the connectivity between all structures on 4 shafts.
Things we will learn:
- That we can combine Huck, Swedish, Bronson Spot and Bronson Lace (Atwater) all in one piece
- We can have 2 blocks
- We can have diagonal lines of lace inspired by twill shapes
- We cannot have verticle plain weave on 4 shafts but can have it on 5 shafts
- We can thread selvedges as half units.
