Satin Damask Tie-Ups for the Drawloom

In this thrilling (though pretty much weaving-free) video, we focus on five and six-end satin to examine unit structures; satin counters; the nature of clean cuts; and the implications of all these things for damask tie-ups on the drawloom. The awesome utility of damask pulleys for weaving on opposites is discussed with great enthusiasm.

Another amazing video Amy. Truly we are all in your debt for sharing this beautiful craft with us

Thank you so much! As you've probably guessed, spreading the love of drawloom weaving is my mission in life. It makes me so happy to hear it might actually be working ;-)

[@shaaraftet3797]

It's more than wonderful Thank you Amy

[@VVDCS]

Thank you for this! Your technical info is always easy to follow, even without a loom in front of me :)

[@DuellingRabbits]

Thank you Sarah - I'm so happy I sounded like I knew what I was talking about.

Have i mentioned recently that i would give body parts to have that loom. Its so majestic. Id sell my soul for a drawer loom.

[@DuellingRabbits]

Well, I'm not sure it's worth such a high price but I catch your drift. Here's hoping there's a drawloom in your future that doesn't require that big a sacrifice ;-)

[@cynthiastandley5742]

And do you have degrees in math and physics?? :) Great video. Can you say which drawloom you like better?

[@DuellingRabbits]

Cynthia, you might as well ask a parent which of their children they love the best! They might have an opinion, but they'll never tell ;-)

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for this video! I struggle with countermarche mechanics, and I'm thinking I might want to switch to Damask pulleys -- the tie up process looks so much simpler!

[@DuellingRabbits]

You can do so much with pulleys of all kinds - both on single and double harness looms. They are much simpler than the countermarch, that's for sure. Have you seen the latest issue of Väv magazine? There's a big article on everything you can do with pulleys - it's a lot!

@@DuellingRabbits I haven't seen the Vav article -- I will seek it out, thanks.
