![]() ![]() These colors needed to be represented with weaves in which the layers were stitched together to prevent baggy pockets from forming. The image contains fairly large areas of solid white and black. ![]() The first piece I wove was an abstract representation of water in 3 colors: If you are not familiar with decomposed views of weaves, Arahne provides a good explanation of how to use ArahWeave's decomposed view to design multi-layer weaves. The weaves discussed in this article are shown in a decomposed view for this reason. Sophisticated weave design programs provide a decomposed view that makes it easier to understand what is happening in each section of weave structures for multiple warps and/or wefts. Although I wove samples from these Oelsner categories: breaks, crepe, deflection, diversified, honeycomb and huck, the crepe weaves best provided the subtle textures I wanted. I turned to Oelsner’s A Handbook of Weaves as a source of textured weaves and to as a source of Oelsner's weave drafts in WIF format. My eyes hungered for more visual interest that was provided by the rather coarse tabby I was producing. After weaving sample blankets of tabby triple weave structures for 3, 4 and 5 wefts, I realized I didn’t find these weaves particularly appealing with this warp. Recently, I put a cyan, magenta and yellow 10/2 cotton warp set at 64.5 epi on my TC-1 loom with the idea of using it for triple weave. This article describes some triple weave structures that were created to solve particular design challenges. Weaving on a Jacquard-type handloom has led me to design weave structures intended for use in a single piece of weaving.
