Translating 3S Threadings for the Rigid Heddle

We have learned how rigid heddles work, we have learned about drafts and 3-shaft twills. Now we will start to bring it all together!

Before we get this on the looms, we are going to learn to translate a draft to slots and eyes and learn to calculate our density and warp sett options so we can select our final materials for our project. This class will teach you how to make your own threading maps on two heddles using your 3 shaft draft from the class 3 Shaft Twills.

Supplies

• Graph paper or threading diagram handout
• 3 shaft twill draft from 3 Shaft Twills
• Pencils

Prerequisites

• 3 Shaft Twills
• Drafts: the Written Language of Weaving
• Rigid Heddles From the Ground Up

Other tools used

• The Rigid Heddle Threading Density Calculator
