That (forgot the name), who perhaps did not speak Swedish, found the jämtlandsdräll idea (with tie-up, of course), but did not understand the (for us) "obvious" way to treadle it, and so had to come up with the three-colour sequence and the tromp-as-writ treadling... which is unheard of here in Sweden.<br />Now I get other ideas...Kerstin på Spinnhusethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01417606744435651656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931657983109057026.post-76901318148788691672012-01-03T17:06:42.944+01:002012-01-03T17:06:42.944+01:00This is really interesting, Kerstin.

It wasn't until I discovered Margeretta Porter-Davidson's book (apologies if her name is spelt wrong, a friend is borrowing the book!), in the 80's, that I read about it. At lot of those weaves are quite old! Maybe she used Tromp-as-writ for want of any treadling plan?<br /><br />I always start with a straight treadling and then anything goes!<br /><br />I wish I had the time to have a go at your challenge, myself.<br /><br />Best wishes<br /><br />AlisonWillington Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897691812617450901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931657983109057026.post-66495316671177886862012-01-03T12:41:02.214+01:002012-01-03T12:41:02.214+01:00I guess there are a lot of possibilities and peopl...I guess there are a lot of possibilities and people have there own favorites. A good friend of mine and well educated in weaving always speaks about a "practical" tie up, that means a tie-up that suits for the following sequence of your feet. You start with one foot at the outermost left then the other foot at the outermost right, and you work yourself through the treadles inwards alternating the left and the right foot. <br />The reach that treadling sequence, the tie-up has to be changed to suit for it.Felizitashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632593635759695293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7931657983109057026.post-84118138705552078232011-12-21T17:50:01.920+01:002011-12-21T17:50:01.920+01:00It's interesting how things evolve, isn't ...It's interesting how things evolve, isn't it.... :)<br /><br />I usually start with tromp as writ and then start playing but that's with the advantage of computers and dobby. A 16 shaft treadle loom might lend itself to something more 'straight forward' so to speak - in terms of production, anyway.<br /><br />Happy Solstice,<br />LauraLaura Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06599868570350256631noreply@blogger.com
