Additional Source Info
<p>The threading and first treadling for this Monks Belt project were derived, with changes, from the Treasure Chest of Swedish Weaving by Ingerlise Skjoldebrand, pp. 78-79. Other treadlings were derived from Marguerite Davison's A Handweaver's Pattern Directory, 1944 ed., 4th printing, Chap. XIII, Monk's Belt and Kindred Designs, beginning on p. 74. Other treadlings suggested themselves during weaving.</p>
Notes
<p>Warp thread was Aunt Lydia's #10 crochet cotton in white, sleyed 2 per dent in a 10 dpi reed. Tabby weft same. Pattern weft was Coats 6-strand embroidery thread. Warp was 13 1/4 in. wide at the reed and each motif was between 8 and 9 inches long under tension on the loom. After finishing, the motifs were 12 1/2 in. wide and between 7 and 8 inches long. Each motif took 6 or 7 little hanks of embroidery thread. Motifs were woven to make little zipper pouches for my daughters-in-law & granddaughters for Easter.</p>
