School of Weaving Turned Taquete Episode Preview

This is a great episode that will help you get blocks that look close to Turned Twill, on just 4 shafts. Turned Taquete is a wee marvel with a straight draw threading and the ability to manipulate 2 blocks on 4 shafts. Things we will learn: -How to turn a draft. -Turned Taquete is related to weft faced Summer and Winter. -The sett for your warp yarn is typically increased because you are making a warp predominant fabric. -Sometimes warp shifting occurs and we will learn to deal with that. -D/L combinations provide your blocks. -You must shift the DL to LD wherever you want a block change, just like log cabin. -On 4 shafts it has 2 easy-to-treadle blocks. -Turned Taquete is an awesome one-shuttle weave structure. -You can repeat your treadling units as many times as you want. -We can also weave the warp in plain weave (unbalanced), warp predominant Repp, or 2/2 Twill. -We can overlay these ideas on old canvases. -We can overlay ideas about division of space and repetitive sequence onto the structure.
