Rhythm Crackle Update

This is a little something I whipped up this morning from the Practical Weaving Suggestions Pamphlet Vol. 2-57, “Some Notes on Crackle Weave.” The weaving draft is straight from the pamphlet. The tie-up is a standard rising shed. I took the treadling from the profile draft, weaving each block from the block draft the number of times it appears.

Here is the profile draft again:

Traditional Crackle threading drafts are tricky. I tried this profile draft with block substitution in Fiberworks. There are three choices: Crackle Block Form, Crackle as Summer and Winter, and Crackle Twill Form. None of which worked very well. So. I am offering this traditional Crackle version of the Rhythm design to anyone who wants it. Leave a message in comments or send me an email.

Cheers!

  1. Sorry, but I have another comment: I found a mistake in the blue draft! At weft 180 there are 4 threads on ‘grip one’, which should be on ‘grip two’….

  3. tiny beunk mentioned 4 threads that are wrong in the blue draft, but I can’t see anything that stands out as wrong. Has it been corrected and that’s why I don’t see it—or is it me? <g>
