Description
Turned Taquete is a wee marvel with a straight draw threading and the ability to manipulate 2 blocks on 4 shafts!
Things we will learn:
- How to turn a draft
- Turned Taquete is related to weft faced Summer and Winter
- The sett for your warp yarn is typically increased because you are making a warp predominant fabric
- sometimes warp shifting occurs and we will learn to deal with that
- D/L combinations provide your blocks
- you must shift the DL to LD wherever you want a block change just like log cabin
- on 4 shafts it has 2 easy-to-treadle blocks
- Turned Taquete is an awesome one-shuttle weave structure :)
- you can repeat your treadling units as many times as you want
- we can also weave the warp in plain weave (unbalanced), warp predominant Repp, or 2/2 Twill
- we can overlay these ideas on old canvases
- we can overlay ideas about division of space and repetitive sequence onto the structure.
