Hi, I'm a new weaver and need some help with patterns. I am learning to weave from a old " Warp and Weave" book, and from online.
I have a 4 harness loom, threaded 4321 the tie up is1-3,1-2,2-3,3-4,1-4,2-4.
The first few rugs went well. I was just using treadles 1 and 6 for a plain tabby weave.
Now I want to try some different patterns.My book said I could do many patterns on this same conventional tie up
but when I try them I have long floating threads and just doesnt seem to be good for rugs.
Any help would be appriciated.
Also whats a good beginner rug book with lots of patterns ?
