skeleton tie-up on countermarch loom
|
Penny Lacroix
Hello, dear weavers! Is it possible to do a skeleton tie-up on a countermarch loom? I have 4 shafts and 6 treadles, but need more for the pattern I'm trying to do. On a jack loom, I would use a universal tie-up (tabby and then 1, 2, 3 and 4). Is there a way to make this work on a countermarch? I searched the group archives and surprisingly didn't find a discussion on this. If this has already been discussed, a link to the messages would be most appreciated! Happy weaving!

Yes, you can do it. Tie up each of the treadles to one shafts, as 1,2,3,4 ONLY to rise. Tie your tabby treadles as usual…..1 + 3 up, 2.4 down, and 2,4 up, 1,3 down IF your tabby is created that way. When it comes time to use the pattern treadles, use two feet to depress the correct treadles. Your shed will be a little smaller using this method, but it will allow you to do all of the 14 combinations possible on a 4 shaft loom.

Thank you Sue and Sara.
Does this information also apply to parallel countermarche looms, e.g., Louet Spring? Isabelle |
