Weaving

Chanel

This is my translation of a tweed used in a Chanel two-piece into carpet.

Use was made of a bouclé yarn in a plain weave, alternating with a smooth yarn to provide room for the thickening in the yarn.

In this example the yarn with the thickening was printed first before it was twined.
Development

For weaving you need a warp and a weft. The warp is wound in one or more different colours.

Each warp thread subsequently passes through a heddle bar, an eyelet in a shaft, and then through a reed. The shafts then move up or down leaving room for the weft thread to pass through. The shafts that move the warp threads up or down determine the final pattern.

A Bouclé yarn is twined on a fancy twisting machine. The thickening in the yarn is realised by twining 2 yarns, one of which is fed more quickly than the other. Subsequently the loop is fixed with a third yarn. The variations are endless.

I would like to publish a book,
a book with much more information
about industrial textile
techniques.

Do you think that is a good idea?

Please be so kind as to make a
contribution before you print.
