I found this amazing pattern on the net. It had the drawdown, the treadling and the tie up but I'm missing the threading. I'm stumped. I don't know what to do here.

That tie-up and treddling sequence will never give you that drawdown.  So says my weaving program!

Ain't software great!   It's a 16 harness pattern, max float is 7.

A pattern is defined either by it's drawdown or by threading,treadling and tie-up.

With only the drawdown given, you need to do an analysis. Most good weaving books should tell you how to do that (at least most Swedish weaving books always have a chapter on that) - or I have an aritcle here.

Hi Aldine , if I'm understanding correctly you're looking for the threading for your pattern. When I open your attachment I see it. It's right where it should be , above the drawdown and to the left of the tie up. It's for a 8 shaft pattern and is threaded 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,8,7,6,5,4, etc. do you see it? I took a look at the first couple of picks of the pattern and the treadling and threading will produce this pattern. However there are long (9) weft floats. I hope this is what you are looking for.

This excel worksheet has two pages.   The rosepath pattern has all the information, but the "stars" pattern has only the tie-up, the treddling and drawdown but no threading.   For the stars pattern, that tie up and treddling can not produce that drawdown.

Oh Sally , can't for the life of me get the stars page up or page two, I'll take your word for it! So, sorry to make a muck of it!

Note that when I saved the jpeg of the pattern above, I must have had the slider down.   Anyway, the first few treddlings were cut off at the top.   The treddling is just 1 to 16 to 1 to 16, etc.

Cathie - I didn't even notice that the excel spreadsheet had two pages until you mentioned it!

Aldine - I hope you weren't looking for an 8 harness pattern!

Yep, I thought this was an eight harness pattern. This just means that I'll have to take a class at the Mannings and use one of their larger looms. Thank you all so much for all of your help!! What a wonderful resource you all are :-)
